Technology ConnectionsRealizing I don't have a perfect handle on how Trek-universe artificial gravity functions, it just occurred to me that incidents involving turbolifts falling down the shaft seem... silly
David Fi&er@TechConnectify Especially since that's a problem that Elisha Otis solved in the middle of the 19th C.

Oh, and like *your* civilization never lost a technological safeguard.
@siderea @TechConnectify I mean, they also seem to think that force fields are a perfectly good way to put a window into the side of a spaceship. Because no starship has ever lost power for even a second.
Professor Emeritus Blake Y Rat@djfiander @siderea @TechConnectify In Discovery the shuttle bay doesn't even have a door. At all. ONLY the forcefield. And that was original series technology, not even next gen. Pretty nuts.
PhilipKing@djfiander @TechConnectify I think there’s a reason, turbolifts don’t just go up and down. We’ve seen that they are basically mini indoor shuttles.
