A car comes out onto a dark street. The sound of thunder and rain scares the passengers inside the car. The driver reads a water-soaked map as the paper falls apart. The passengers are convinced they are lost, but the driver refuses to admit it. He ignores his instincts and takes a turn down the wrong road. They head into a world of darkness, mystery and the unknown as the car disappears into the night. This premise sounds similar to clichés seen in a horror story. If this happened in real life, the story would be cut short and we wouldn't explore the rest. We would never find out what happens after the car sets out on the dark road or what happens in the darkness. This inclusion of electronic devices and the Internet ruins the mysterious aspect of the narrative. If the characters in the story were transported to our time, they would have cell phones and GPS systems. They could easily find the correct route or use the maps on their mobile phones. This scenario would be resolved without too much trouble and there would be no more stories to tell. No more stories of friends going on an adventure without the assistance or dependence on technology. In many cases, when people embark on an adventure, they rely on electronics to help them. "Films therefore are productive and products of culture; in other words, they respond to and reflect culture. [...] Film takes ideas and images from the world we live in and then transforms them into stories that are not simply identical to world outside of cinema" (Nowlan). Just as Bob Nowlan, a film professor at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, said that movies reflect our culture, we too cannot escape technology.
