In Star Trek: TNG, Q tests humanity and The Enterprise. Puts them in dangerous situations, gives them puzzles that force them to learn and grow instead of just relaying the knowledge directly. Much like us now, this frustrates the crew, they don't like being played with, but in the end it's for their own good. Q forces them to adapt and grow so they can defeat The Borg, a race that absorbs cultures and forces them to change to serve the borg collective.
What are the odds that a show from decades ago mirrors our situation now exactly?

You would be amazed how much of Star Trek is soft disclosure of technology people have used for a long time.
