7 classic movies ruined by new technology
SPONSORED POST
Technology has a lot to answer for – putting us all out of jobs, for example, and stripping us of any concept of the right to ‘privacy’.
But it would also have ruined the plot of many films, which is why so many movies and TV series these days are set in the ’70s or ’80s, to avoid the audience asking: ‘But why didn’t they just Google/WhatsApp/use their mobile phone?’
Imagine if Die Hard‘s John McClane had been able to use a mobile phone rather than stealing the bad guys’ radio to contact the police on an emergency frequency?
Or if the Prince in Cinderella had just posted a picture of the glass slipper on Facebook?
And how long would Ferris Bueller’s Day Off have lasted had people had been taking photos of him on their mobile phones and making him trend on Twitter? Ferris Bueller’s 90 Minutes Off, more like.
Sunlife picked 7 more movies which would have been ruined by new technology, and very lovely it looks too.
