Manipulating Movie Scenarios Via Virtual Private Networks
Let's dive into some classic movies that could've had different endings if their characters had simply used a VPN. That's right, my friends! We're talking about movies where technology existing today could've saved the day.
We'll call this the "VPN movie miracles" edition.
Morpheus may never find Neo—The Matrix (1999)
First off, we've got ol' Morpheus trying to find Neo in the Matrix. If Neo had been smart enough to hide his location with a VPN, Morpheus probably wouldn't have been able to track him down. No more robot overlords, and no "One" to save mankind. That sounds like a bummer if you're a human, but if you're an evil robot, it's great news!
But let's imagine that humans did have VPNs... Agents wouldn't have been able to find the troublemakers causing a fuss in their perfect cyber-utopia. Humans could dip in and out of the Matrix at the click of a mouse, and their location would be hidden. No more sneaky dashes to a ringing phone, and no more panic!
Sam can't destroy the world—Transformers (2007)
Poor Sam Witwicky—he's just trying to sell some old family heirlooms on eBay and ends up starting a war with wannabe robot overlords. Our guy needs to be more careful!
If Sam had used a VPN before listing the family heirlooms, no one would have been able to trace the auction to him. That means no evil robot overlords would have come knocking on his door to claim the glasses containing a secret map revealing the location of the All Spark. These go-to macguffins of the Transformers movieverse can do anything the plot requires it to. An eBay listing with a VPN would have prevented a war and saved everyone a whole lot of time.
All the Terminator movies solved—instantly
In 2029, evil robot overlords really don't want humans revolting, so they send a T-1000 back in time to kill John Connor. But here's the twist—if John Connor had been using a VPN, the T-1000 wouldn't have been able to find him. Otherwise, the rest of the films in the series might not have happened, and we wouldn't have Sarah Connor chasing around an old Austrian bodybuilder.
The bottom line: Protect yourself from the evil robot overlords and save humanity
The moral of the story is clear: If you ever find yourself being hunted by evil robot overlords, make sure you've got a VPN to protect yourself.
Or, if you want a less dramatic (but still very valid) reason to use a VPN, it can help protect your online privacy and keep your data safe from snoops.
Hey, movie buffs! Do you know any other films that might have been saved by the use of a VPN? Let us know in the comments below!
Gadgets such as VPNs could have been instrumental in altering the outcomes of various films: in 'The Matrix' (1999), Neo may have escaped Morpheus' detection if he had used a VPN, thus preventing the rise of the robot overlords. Similarly, in the 'Transformers' (2007), Sam Witwicky might have been able to keep the evil robot overlords at bay by using a VPN before listing his family heirlooms on eBay.
Technology, like VPNs, could potentially offer individuals a means to protect themselves against malevolent forces, even in the realm of cinema.
