"Don't be f*ckin' with them lower-tech people's heads, turning 'em on to yer high-tech sh*t. Leave'em alone and let 'em figger it all out in their own way and time."

"Thou Shalt Not Fast Forward the Backward."

Sort of. It's about sovereignty of species development. I guess.

OK-- I Googled it for you, Lazykins:

PRIME DIRECTIVE

As the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred, no Star Fleet personnel may interfere with the healthy development of alien life and culture. Such interference includes the introduction of superior knowledge, strength, or technology to a world whose society is incapable of handling such advantages wisely. Star Fleet personnel may not violate this Prime Directive, even to save their lives and/or their ship unless they are acting to right an earlier violation or an accidental contamination of said culture. This directive takes precedence over any and all other considerations, and carries with it the highest moral obligation.

Bow down! :~)
