Website Sections (related chapters in the movie):
Chapter 3 Networked Communications:
Information was initially quickly spread via news.
After the invasion, people weren’t able to communicate with each other due to an electromagnetic pulse that disabled almost all electronic devices.
Arguments could be made that the invading aliens controlled the spread of information by disabling all electronics.
Misinformation: Could be argued that misinformation in the movie was spread due to the lack of communications. Because people were unable to look stuff up online, it was easier for misinformation to be spread.
Chapter 4 Intellectual Property:
The film is based on H. G. Wells’s 1898 novel, The War of the Worlds (source needed). The novel is in the public domain in the US, but may not be overseas [1].
Chapter 5 Information Privacy:
1:21:00 Later in the movie there is a scene where we see the alien technology at work. A tentacle-like camera is dropped into a home where people are trying to hide. This is used to invade the privacy of Ray, his daughter Rachel, and the man who lives here.
Aliens planned the invasion for a long time, requiring them to spy on society.
Chapter 6 Privacy and the Government:
Chapter 7 Computer and Network Security:
Cyber attack: electronmagnetic pulse disabled all electronics; a form of a cyber attack.
Chapter 8 Computer Reliability:
Computers were susceptible to an electromagnetic pulse.
Aliens’ robots/machines were susceptible to the operator becoming incapacitated.
Chapter 10 Automation and Globalization:
Globalization heavily relies on networked communications, and without them, the mobility of goods, money, and information becomes much more difficult.
0:44:00 Female news report has access to information technology that no one else does, example of digital divide from chapter 10.
