I watched "Enemy of the State" again on the weekend. Its 20 years old and a great movie. It was talking up about what the NSA could do 20 years ago with CCTVs, satellite imaging, bugs, wiretaps, voice recognition etc. I remember back then it was a bit far fetched. Now it looks trivial and basically there is no hiding anywhere any more.
- js2 8y agoThe Conversation is 44 years old, also a great movie, and while the surveillance is much more primitive, it’s no less scary.
- icebraining 8y agoAgreed, The Conversation is fantastic. Interestingly, both star Gene Hackman as a main character.
- driverdan 8y agoI love this about older hacker movies. Watching The Net, Hackers, and Enemy of the State back when they came out resulted in many laughs about how unrealistic their portrayal of tech was. Ordering food online? A remotely hackable sprinkler system? Real time video monitoring from the sky? Ridiculous! Now these things are normal.
