> That’s not even to speak of all the movie plots that would have been ruined.
I clicked on all the links. Pretty much all of those movies could still work with wired technology. Even the one called cellular, in which a woman is trapped in an attic with a broken landline phone and manages to connect wires and dial a random number.
Yes I'm nitpicking. I guess I'm glad we have Wi-Fi and all, but don't try to sell me on it as a crucial plot device
Two films that got that right, in a creative and almost realistic way, are Cellular and Phone Booth. The exceptions that proof the rule?
