[QUOTE]Originally posted by OnToMars: [QB] I prefer what I think Gene Roddenberry's concept of them was: That the Borg once were a purely organic race that began using mechanical devices to improve themselves. At first they were separate entities, the mechanicals and organics. But then they started using cybernetic devices to improve themselves, only it got out of hand. They lost their "humanity". At some point they did what Sol suggested. Their species evolved into a collective conciousness and then into an assimilating one. Think; Data, Geordi (FC,I), Bynars, Borg. This way, it illustrates another warning (which was GR's way) about not losing our humanity in the face of technology. Also, it means that the Borg's state is their own fault, which is always better drama. And it gives them a suitably long period of time to evolve that way, they could've been Geordi's when the Vaadwaur encountered them. [/QB][/QUOTE]
