Live Free...

I watched Live Free Die Hard yesterday (July 4th). It's a good and entertaining movie but... in summarizing, I will said - it's a movie combined: Terminator 2 (who even appeared in Live Free & Die hard), AI, and a little bit of True Lies. So what's this mean? Again, showing our dependency of technology will one day bit us back. I have to admit, this is one of my fears. On top of that, I read this new today: http://www.switched.com/2007/07/05/cell-phone-battery-explodes-kills-worker/

Maybe this is more of a common fear we have imagined. Ok... let's give it a test: Imagine there is no internet (not too bad), no cell phone signal (OK), cell battery is dying (getting worse), trying to access the contact book inside the cell phone while battling the last tiny bit of the battery (but the phone still showing the beautiful logo of your provider, worse).... ATM, guarded gates.... OH, the money inside the bank, after all, it's purely my faith in the bank digits(so it doesn't go down). Since when I am a prisoner of the technology? How can I really live free in this world?

Hmmmm, btw, this is at least the 2nd movie I have seen mentioned and sprung off the East Coast block out. Ha. I don't miss being in NY to experience experiences; and yet, I miss it.
