I watched Johnny Mnemonic (there's also a short story the movie is based on, go read it) last night for the first time in a long time. The movie takes place in 2021, only 11 more years!
I think the most striking thing was that he was to carry around 320 Gigabytes of data in his head. The first time I saw that movie in 1995 or so, I remember thinking that 320GB was an insane amount of data. Today I type this on a computer with almost double that much storage capacity. I love it how movies that involve computer things age terribly. I suppose that's part of what makes them so fun to watch.
Except
Tron, that one is still pure awesome.
