Social Media in the Star Trek Universe

Positively Trek 222: Social Media in the Star Trek Universe

Data’s Snapchat Filters, Jellico’s Hot Takes, and More!

Social Media means a lot of things to different people. Love it or hate it, it has permeated all our lives in one form or another. But what would social media in the Star Trek universe look like? How would some of our favourite characters use it?

In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Dan and Barry discuss what social media would mean in the Trek universe. We also discuss the week’s news, including the tragic loss of the original Saavik, Kirstie Alley, and the welcoming of a new member of Anthony Rapp’s family!
