@djwudi you can add to that the fact that you dont have to buy stuff to try out a new hobby... want to get into programming, congrats, you have a digital pad that you can program your brains out in, and its connected to the galactic communications system, allowing you to ask for help from untold numbers of people around the galaxy doing the same thing, and when you make something you want to share, click click that quick its all over the universe... want to get into painting, replicator will have information on everything you need to get started, and your computer terminal can show you billions of ways to do it.. want to learn from one of the "old masters" well guess what, we have divinci programs, van gough programs, we got them all, you can spend a relaxing afternoon in the holodeck being taught how to do the thing you want to do by anyone from history thats done it! and if by some chance there isnt a program for it, you can simply explain to the computer what you want your program to do and POOF now there is!
