The OLD, Cabin in the Woods...

https://www.polygon.com/what-to-watch/22605672/old-m-night-shyamalan-movies-to-watch-amazon-hbo-criterion

OLD is another bizarre movie where people are trapped at a location for nefarious reasons.

"With only the now-adult Maddox and Trent remaining by the next morning, Trent revisits a secret message given to him by the manager's nephew, which he deduces is connected to an underwater coral passage. Suspecting that the passage will allow him and Maddox to not lose consciousness while leaving the beach, he and his sister start swimming through the coral. After they fail to emerge from the water, a resort employee monitoring them reports that the entire group has died.

It is revealed that the resort is a front for a research team conducting clinical trials of new medical drugs, with guests suffering from conditions being used as unwitting test subjects. Since the beach naturally accelerates the lives of the guests, the researchers have been able to complete the drugs' lifetime trials within a day. The researchers move forward with luring a new group to the beach but are interrupted by the arrival of Trent and Maddox, who survived their underwater swim. Using the notebook as evidence of several guests going missing, the siblings are able to bring the police to the resort. Once the researchers are arrested, Trent and Maddox head home to live with their aunt, uncertain of their future." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_(film)#Plot


The people on that beach have essentially become like lab animals.

Like OLD, The_Cabin_in_the_Woods has a bunch of people running around like lab mice trapped in a maze.

"The lab workers learn that the rite in Japan has also failed, meaning that the American rite is "humanity's last hope". Curt, Holden, and Dana attempt to escape in their RV, but Sitterson triggers a tunnel collapse to block them. Curt attempts to jump a ravine on his motorcycle to seek help on the other side, but crashes into a force field and falls to his death. Holden and Dana realize that their experience is staged and controlled. As they try to escape in the RV, Holden is killed by a zombie, and Dana is attacked once the RV crashes into the lake.

The lab employees, seeing that Dana is the only survivor, celebrate the success of the rite, but are interrupted by a phone call from "The Director," revealing that Marty is still alive. Marty saves Dana and takes her to a hidden elevator he discovered. They descend into the lab and discover a large collection of different monsters locked in cages. Dana correlates them with the objects in the cabin's cellar and realizes that the objects determine which monsters are released. Cornered by security personnel, the pair trigger a "Purge" button and release all the monsters, which wreak havoc and slaughter the staff; Hadley is killed by a merman while Dana accidentally stabs Sitterson to death.

Dana and Marty flee and discover an ancient temple, where they are confronted by The Director. She explains that worldwide annual rituals of human sacrifice are held to appease the Ancient Ones, a group of cruel subterranean deities. Each region has its own ritual, and the American ritual involves the sacrifice of five slasher film archetypes.." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cabin_in_the_Woods#Plot

The MATRIX and The Future of Reality

https://twitter.com/TheMatrixMovie , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgYs_NDyaLs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_Resurrections 

The hype is certainly gradually building up for this next part of the story. https://nerdist.com/tags/the-matrix

 https://www.wired.com/story/matrix-resurrections-yahya-abdul-mateen-ii-qa/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_brand=wired&utm_social-type=owned

Some people will only ever like the first MATRIX movie.

https://www.whattowatch.com/watching-guides/the-matrix-resurrections-trailer-release-date-and-everything-we-know-about-the-sequel

At the very least, the MATRIX sequels could be considered bonus material.

https://ew.com/movies/the-matrix-resurrections-keanu-reeves-carrie-anne-moss-cover-story/?

However like the name implies, Resurrections might be part reboot, part parallel, and partially a continuation of the overall digital story.

5G Tech and A.I., etc.

https://www.ericsson.com/en/networks/offerings/network-services/ai-report
A future with A.I. & robots almost everywhere, interconnected with quantum digital consciousness.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-power-of-combining-5g-and-ai-11573234753

Of course the Internet_of_Things is also a big part of this global tech plan.
https://www.networkworld.com/article/3535337/how-ai-will-be-used-to-manage-5g-networks.html

Some people always want to have the latest & greatest tech, but sometimes it just might be an obsession.
https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note20_ultra_5g-10261.php

With a diagonal screen that's just under 7 inches, is pretty darn good for a pocket tablet phone.

https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-note20-5g

Of course there is still the big price to go with a big phone.

https://www.engadget.com/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-review-snapdragon-865-plus-5g-s-pen-price-140017843.html So EG gives it a rating of 86%.


https://www.cnet.com/news/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-review-amazing-features-but-is-anyone-a-power-user-anymore/
So the roll out of all the new 5G phones is well underway.

https://www.techradar.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-review

Its really about the constant repackaging & marketing of the same old stuff.
https://www.digitaltrends.com/cell-phone-reviews/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-review

Both have the same size screen.

https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-vs-galaxy-s20-ultra

Of course smartphones are a great convenience and have become essential for so many now. People still have the option to keep such telemetry devices outside of their skin. How many people today would really want to have an A.I. Telemetry Unit (AITU) placed under their skin?
https://aithority.com/guest-authors/ai-increasing-the-intelligence-on-smartphones
Eventually the human herd might not have that much of a choice in being tracked like cattle and other livestock.

Black_Mirror is one of several productions of_interest that have provided a fascinating and disturbing glimpse of a future that's just around the corner or even above & below you.
https://www.anagog.com/project/anagog-cures-data-privacy-concerns-with-worlds-first-on-handset-ai-engine

https://www.electronicdesign.com/industrial-automation/article/21807565/brave-new-world-everything-gets-smarter-when-5g-and-ai-combine
Just imagine whats Next on the trajectory of an ever expanding system of digital awareness throughout the world.

AI can be a great thing for humanity but if people totally allow AI to control them, the results will be inhuman world.

The Data Center Monolith

The Monolith was A.C.C.'s depiction of a hybrid-mainframe-topological-quantum-supercomputer-server. Whether in the year 2001 or 2010 such quantum machines still only exist at the theoretical concept level, as does time travel.


The former IBM Building at 330_North_Wabash, Chicago was designed to look like a 700 foot tall monolith computer.

"For the time it was built the IBM Building housed an extraordinarily large number of computers, which required an advanced level of environmental engineering. The walls were sealed by a plastic thermal barrier, and a reverse refrigeration system was used to reclaim heat given off by machines and people." http://www.emporis.com/application/?nav=building&lng=3&id=ibmbuilding-chicago-il-usa ,

So far the iP5 isn't quite shaped like a pocket monolith computer phone, but the iP5 has a lot of interesting features & potential. The Android phones don't seem to offer a monolith version either. Perhaps because its better to have rounded corners, but some people still might like to have a monolith phone. However, that option may have to wait quite a while until one can carry a room temperature, superconductor, Quantum+Computer in their pocket.

Apple versus Microsoft

For many, Apple products will always a cut above the rest.

Once the PC market really started to catch on, its popularity propelled it self.
Having a PC at home was even better than having a Mobile_telephone in your Car

Of course the Pocket_PC was still several years away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_PC
However, some people knew that the dawn of smartphones was just a matter of time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone#Early_smartphones

 

Is it rivalry, or just two side of the same tech coin?
"The film ends in 1997, with the return of 42-year-old Jobs to Apple (after its acquisition of NeXT Computer) and with his announcement at the MacWorld Expo of an alliance between Apple and Microsoft." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirates_of_Silicon_Valley (1999) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEyrivrjAuU

"Pirates of Silicon Valley"

Bill_Gates sure started something big in the world. https://www.forbes.com/richest-in-tech/#74546b087316 

Several years after people embraced the PC, it was time for the iPhone_(1st_generation)
The summer of 2007 was the dawn of a new era in mobile phone tech.

Secret History of Silicon Valley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTC_RxWN_xo

William_Gibson took the 1980s Sci-Fi tech landscape up to a new level and U2 took music and concerts up to a new level in the 1990s. The last couple decades of the 20th_century took a big leap in technology and Cyberpunk entertainment.

Bill Gates celebrated his 54th birthday in Vancouver at a U2 concert.
It's amazing to see the scale that Seattle is allowed to function on a larger level, simply because it's not bound by any Vancouver type restrictions or limitations.
