things you learned from star trek the next generation

hahaha.. awesome.

I wish I learnt something from it but I can't remember any of it anymore.

 

To be honest the second one was from the original:

In Star Trek: The Original Series, GNDN was an "in-joke" produced by the set designers of the series.
According to an interview with John Jefferies, one of the set designers, stated in the TOS Season 2 DVD special features:
"The plumbing and pipes in the Enterprise all had color codes and some form of nomenclature on it. That would be a series of letters and numbers and something that looked like you could tell what this pipe was on this side of the wall, as it came out of the wall. And GNDN with a number behind it and then a color code became very common throughout the Enterprise. GNDN means 'Goes nowhere, does nothing'." This became a well-known enough prank that when the DS9 crew re-built some of the old Enterprise sets for the 30th anniversary tribute, "Trials and Tribble-ations", they made sure to include a GNDN pipe.

Unless you were a complete dingbat fan then most of it washes over you or it seems trite. But for me, I watched it in my formative years and gained quite a lot from it, looking back retrospectively. Sad but true.
Obviously my whole life and morale compass has not been governed by it.
But, it could have been worse if it had.

 

I learned that robots have many potential uses.

 

Nothing, but after reading this thread I learned the difference between "learnt" and "learned."
