===Q 5=== 
'''Do you think it possible that prosthetic limbs led to the development of the Borg and why?'''

It's not just advanced prosthetic or bionic limbs that might have led the Borg to develop but rather that mechanical parts and electronic parts must have been seen as superior to the natural biological parts. All ready we are putting computer chips in our pets to locate them if they get lost. There is now talk of chipping inside of babies and children to prevent kidnapping. It could lead to everybody being wirelessly jacked into computers and a communication network. There could have been a pre-Borg time when the computer systems got so smart and so self-aware that those plugged in ceased to be individuals. -[[Jim McCrary|Jim]]
