Holodeck
Truely coming into their own as a source of simulations and
indeed entertainment aboard Enterprise
under the command of Picard,
when the new holodeck's were fitted to the ship allowing an
out of this world experiance.
The idea is simple though the technology behind it is far
from it. Holo emitters lay out a complete environment, a mini
unvierse almost that can have interactive, touchable characters
and landscapes. One of Picard's favorite programmes is based
on a childhood hero, the fictional character Dixon Hill.
Tom Paris
also makes good use of the holodecks aboard Voyager
running several locations including many old time style places
due to his facination with tweneith century Earth.
However Holodeck's do come with their problems. For instance
a person can easily develop Holo adiction as an environment
programmed yourself can be a far more fun and safe place than
the real world. A leader in the Path Finder Project Reg
Barclay has suffered from such a condition and at one
point spent more time on the Holodeck with his virtual Voyager
crew then he did in the real world.
