Appleseed …. the truth in fiction

Appleseed part2 is by far one of the greatest anime’s i have ever seen .Combining the best of CG and Anime there is no better way to introduce yourself into the wolrd of anime . I should say this now that there is a spoiler ahead.

The basic story in Appleseed 2 revolves around a new piece of technology that is worn over the eyes not unlike a pair of sunglasses except that it connected to almost directly to the brain. Because of its great popularity there is almost no person in the movie that does not have one. The villains then use this device to control the user effectively turning them into zombies .Please keep in mind that all this is very simplified and its recommended to watch the movie to get the entire experiance.

The problem comes in where in todays age everyone uses cellphones in a very similar fashion .This has actually gotten to a point where people have developed a phobia of being disconnected from their phones or even technology .If say someone found a way to manipulate people using this technology then would we not have a scene as depicted in the movie. Granted we wouldnt have anyone to come and save us but its pretty interesting to watch a movie like this and then bring the conclusion to how it relates to current day and times. While the technology used is still quite far off the concept in the movie is very close , the tensions for war are slowly escalating day by ,should we have anything to fear or is that time still to far off. I guess only time can tell
