Interesting question… "Throughout the various Star Trek shows, there are a number of times when the Enterprise or another Federation vessel encounters a more advanced civilization. For instance, in The Corbomite Maneuver, Balok's ship seems to be more advanced than the Enterprise. Kirk and Balok arrange for a crewmember from the Enterprise to stay with Balok for a while. In Star Trek: The Next Generation, in The Nth Degree, they meet the Cytherians, who are clearly advanced far beyond the Federation and there is talk of an exchange of technologies. We know that the Federation has an understanding of the Romulan cloaking device and in the last episode of Star Trek: Voyager we know Captain Janeway goes back in time for a bootstrap operation to adapt future technology so the Voyager can make it home…"

Star Trek has had a problem with "Super" tech for a very long time (I was about to say always but I don't think they would have been able to use the tech from the original pilot and the "tech" from the second pilot really was a LONG way from being useable). By time of Next Generation EVERYONE EVERYWHERE should have been using cloaking technology. "Tech" in this case being the ESP powers |

Thus the problem with a long running series. For a typical 5-year series, it makes sense that you aren't going to reverse-engineer that nifty teleporter you found last week and start mass-producing them for stores this Christmas. But, after 10-20 years, you'd think some of the supertech would have a more direct impact on Federation society. |
