Everything Is Online: Difference between revisions

** Earlier in the series, The Riddler hacks into a computer system and is somehow able to remote-operate a crane at a construction site.

* In ''[[Static Shock]]'', a disgruntled technician builds a helmet that allows her to uplink her consciousness to the Internet in the form of the ultimate worm virus. Not only can she connect to things that shouldn't be online, she can take anything that has a computer in it and use that fact to access functions the computer itself couldn't, such as driving cars by accessing "the onboard computer systems", which should really just consist of a GPS or something. Now, given that she chose to pull this gimmick against an electricity-themed hero and his supergenius sidekick, she doesn't last very long—she gets taken out with antivirus software which winds up feeding back through the helmet and pretty much rendering her catatonic. The repercussions are never discussed.

* In one episode of the 1980s animated ''Incredible [[Hulk]]'', an evil computer starts taking over the world through the electric power lines. All manner of small appliances, including electric razors and pop-up toasters, start flying around and attacking people.

* Charlie Strap and Froggy Ball Flying High (original name "Kalle Stropp och Grodan Boll på svindlande äventyr"), a Swedish animated feature film, had this as a key part of the villains' plot: they have a floppy disc<ref>it was made in 1991</ref> with a program on it that allows them to hack into the government's computers as easily as pressing a few buttons, which they will use to give themselves permission to move an historical castle to the main characters' forest, and re-build it into a hyper-modern hotel. [[Fridge Logic|Apparently, the program can also edit the government's non-digital records...]] though that might just be the villains being idiots and ''assuming'' this trope to be in effect.
