Summer Wars



Last weekend I saw an animation movie called "Summer Wars" I really liked this so much that I consider it to be one of my favorites.

The main plot about this movie is that everyone in the world is connected to a famous web page called "oz", a webpage-like facebook. In this site, everyone can use it for playing, buying things online, communicate, or even working. The main problem arises when a virus shows up in the interweb, called "love machine". This extrange virus hacks every user from the webpage.
When doing this, the smart virus accesses the username's account and, since the username used this account to work, the virus can manipulate every aspect of his work. For example, if the hacked user worked in the system that controlled the traffic light, the virus can manpulate the traffic lights but not only that, it can manipulate hospital machines too, unfortunately, creating confusion and chaos to citizens, a new type of terrorism.

This movie suddenly becames more serious when the virus manages to hack an account that worked with a satellite. Knowing this, the virus enters the satellite's system and commands it to impact earth, creating a collition similar to a bomb.

This made me think that, since internet now a days is used more often, someday we will highly depend on it. I really understand that someday, the internet world will be the new type of main battleground for a world war, if we ever have one...
