I love how movies show hacking devices as super serious futuristic goggles the open 6 different terminals that patch you through sockets on satellites, but the best thing in real life is a dolphin tamagotchi.
- bitwize 4y agoWhich in turn may be a reference to the time when a movie showed an actual dolphin as a hacking device: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F7OM59U4-z0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F7OM59U4-z0
- addingnumbers 4y agoIt's a reference to the story that inspired the movie. > The prototype of our character is the cyborg dolphin Jones from the story "Johnny Mnemonic" by William Gibson.

Though I guess dolphins in general are much more conciliatory on IPs, trademark and copyrights issues. We need to put Keanu Reeves in the public domain!
- evilbob93 4y agoYou could make the argument that it's further a reference back to "Day of the Dolphin" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069946 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069946
