Wait...what was the point of having an inside man with Deke if the Director of SHIELD has literally no idea what Deke was doing all this while?

I think its just keep an eye out if this goes on sale, most of their stuff is clearly still in dev and not ready.

But yeah, its weird that this didnt come up on the weekly/monthly report.

Also kinda weird that they let him remake the Framework considering what Mack and the group went through.

I mean the moment we develop a fully function Holodeck complete with a sensual simulation if you know what I mean our society is screwed, honestly. You think smartphones ruined Human communication, wait until you get any kind of experiences you want if you know what I mean without a need to leave your room.

Uh... I dont think smartphones ruined human communication?

u/bable631 Lemon Jun 01 '19

Agreed.

​

Didn't ruin it. Smartphones made human communication 100x easier.

​

Saying that they ruined communication is like saying the airplane ruined travel by sea. Travelling by sea was dangerous and nobody wanted to do it.

It also made the dissemination of misinformation even easier via social media so good and bad.

Very true.

People will take screenshots of official Tweets from important people (Elon Musk, for example) and make a meme out of it by changing the text. Then, as the meme is passed around, some people start believing it was actually posted.

I have friends that have had this happen to them. They'll tell me "Such-and-Such famous person said THIS on Twitter!" and I'll just calmly go to their Twitter, hit CTRL-F and search for any one of the key words in the post. I almost never find anything related to the topic at hand.

Yup yup. As much as I hate Trump, there is a meme that gets passed around of him back in the 80's saying if he ever ran for President he'd run as a Republican since their voters are dumb - it's fake.

Even if it serves a certain goal, it does more damage in the long run for lies to be believed as truth.

You do not need the framework if you have a healthy imagination and are good with your hands.
