The Future According To: Johnny Mnemonic
In a new segment here at the erratically updated ‘Film is Good Too’, we examine the future according to various sci-fi films.
The first of such instalments comes from the 1995 classic Johnny Mnemonic. This contains spoilers.
1. Bars will play opera-hop and have very poor security. 
2. Lasers will be used for odd and arbitrary places, such as whips hidden in rings and the insides of bins.
3. The internet will look like Tron and be controlled with hand gestures, such as shaking the air to hack into things. (see image)
4. The army will have trained dolphins to hack and these powers combined with drugs will be able to hack Keanu Reeves’s brain.
5. ‘low tech’ will be an insult, with vague racial connotations.
6. Not only will dolphins be trained to use computers by the army, they will also understand English and combine these haxxor skillz to kill Dolph Lundgren in a fittingly pseudo-biblical style. = Dolphins will (already do?) understand irony.
