Strange Days and Johnny Mnemonic from 1995

Strange_Days has quite an interesting take on using the action_camera for experiencing the lives of other people.

Johnny_Mnemonic is more about temporarily storing and delivering sensitive data in the brain to avoid using the Internet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Mnemonic_(film)#Plot

Both are interesting stories, but the tech was more limited in 1995.

What would Strange Days and Johnny Mnemonic be like with 2025 technology?


High technology can be such a great thing. However, is it really a good idea for humanity to eventually become something like the Borg_Collective?

It seems that there might eventually have to be at least 2 versions of the Neuralink-Technology. One that is connected to the Internet and an offline version. Indeed, something like a very advanced version of the tech in Johnny Mnemonic and Strange Days would have to be blocked from Internet access. Otherwise, it's just a nice big hacking party waiting to happen in 2025.
