Here is a show I’m somewhat inspired by, but definitely disturbs me. Unfortunately, it reinforces me to be a recluse, especially after losing my best friend and housemate of forty years, Richard Lyons of Negativland. As you may know, he passed away on his birthday, April 19th, 2016 at the age of 57. There is a possibility that I may never visit a doctor or own a smart phone and this episode really shows how nasty the future could be.
By the way, on a lighter note, this post is somewhat of a test to try out the WordPress video player instead of my normal Flash player. The video properties (according to my computer) indicate there is no Flash video. Let me know if the video plays, especially if you are using Android or IOS. This is a low quality version with no direct download link, and a lot of the ending credits are missing. If you like what you see, get Netflix and watch it there. Here are a couple of links:
Black Mirror – Episode Guide – for the early UK episodes – This link is now dead. It’s interesting to me how the UK Channel 4 disassociated itself from “Black Mirror.”
Black Mirror – IMDb – for everything else
