The Hardwire Out

In the movie The Matrix -

released in 1999

hardwired phones were the only way to escape a digital world of slavery.

To access

The Real World

The heroes had cell phones - but they could only be used to communicate with others while they remained trapped inside the computer code.

They could not be used to escape.

Slowly, hardwired phones have been removed from society.

Phone boxes are gone.

In most places, you couldn't find a wired phone if your life depended on it.

An escape from The Matrix.

And instead you're scrolling all day on a "smart" phone. A tool of The Matrix.

Do you understand what has happened

They're closing the gate.
