In a made up story about a utopian future, and for now in our current reality, that is. There was also that episode where the holodeck created sentience and they put it in a box to explore a generated universe because it was too dangerous to let out into the real world. There's plenty of scifi predictions about the future of humanity, Star Trek's utopian future where humans are unique and necessary is not the only one, there are plenty of dystopian ones too.
