A little adventure movie, far from a sci-fi movie

The sci-fi background setting of Summer Wars is so poor that I have not entered the plot.

But there are some aspects worth thinking about.

In the future, avatars in the virtual world may have the same rights as natural persons in the real society. Assuming that natural persons have authorized/entrusted a lot of work to virtual avatars, how to regulate the behavior of avatars and implement supervision?
In the real world, there are natural firewalls for information flow: language and region, so the cost of spreading disease rumors is very high. Even if there is an epidemic or harmful false news in a certain tribe of human beings, it can be naturally eliminated in the process of spreading, but The rapid flow of information at low cost brought by the network society will quickly bring rumors to any corner, causing an impact that cannot be ignored. If the system is designed to reduce such threats.
For the seamless connection between the network and reality, we need to solve basic problems such as mobile terminals, bandwidth, traffic costs, human-machine interfaces, etc., to achieve the goal of never dropping the line between people and networks.
When I was at State Street, I was told: Good computer security design
is to maximize the time cost of intrusion, slow down the intruder's time, and gain valuable response time.
Security protection should be like an onion, layered .
Each area has blocking measures, such as firewalls, that help keep hazards within a certain range.
Do a good job of normal monitoring and record any behavior to help expose the intruder's tactics and whereabouts.

Summer Wars quotes

  • Sakae Jinnouchi: [a letter in an envelope reading: To the family - read when the time comes, from passed away granny Sakae Jinnouchi, read in her voice] To my family. // First, take yourselves a deep breath. Crying and carrying on doesn't help anything. Make my funeral arrangement a simple affair, just our close friends, and then go back to your day-to-day lives. I don't have anything to leave you in a way of an inheritance. That said, I'm sure my old acquaintances will keep an eye on Jin'nôchi family. No need to worry, my dears. You've always been hard workers, and I know you'll keep it up. And grant me this. If Wabisuke should ever make his way back home... He's been gone ten years and counting now, so who's to say if that day will ever come... But if he does, I'm sure he'll be hungry. He never took proper care of himself and probably weren't even eating right. So, let him have as many vegetables from the fields as he wants. And the grapes and peaches, too, he always loved those the best. I remember the day we first met. Even now it's clear as a bell, his little ears look just like my husband's. Definitely, his father's son. We walked through the field of morning glories and I told him he would be our child from that day forward. He didn't say a single word, but his hand wrapped all the tighter around my finger. I was so happy to be giving him the family he needed. I like to think he could feel the happiness radiating off of me. Never turn your back on family, even when they hurt you. Never let life get the better of you. And if you remember nothing else, remember to find time to eat together as a family, even when times are rough; especially when times are rough. There's no lack of painful things in this world, but hunger and loneliness must surely be two of the worst. Thanks to you, my precious family, I didn't know a moment of either of those the last ninety years. // Love you all. Good bye.

  • Ri'ichi Jin'nôchi: ...You have to protect others in order to protect yourself.

    Tasuke Jin'nôchi: At the Self-Defence Force motto?

    Ri'ichi Jin'nôchi: Not exactly. I just lifted it from Seven Samurai.
