The influence of Google / new IT in movies
January 5 2010, 6:07 AM
In the 2009 version of the Pelham 1 2 3 film, there was a depiction of a
map in 3 dimensions with pointers over the locations. Seeing that made me
think: hey, that looks just like Google Maps. I would be surprised if they
didn't get the visual idea from Google. And I would be more surprised if,
going forward as we acquire more and more sophisticated visual techology,
we don't see more of that showing up in movies. And not sci fi movies but
movies generally.
