<p>Rarely has a movie been as prescient about technology (and our response to that technology) as David Cronenberg's <i>Videodrome</i>. Cronenberg envisioned a world where the communications medium directly impacted the viewer, even changing the viewer physically so that interaction could be made easier yet. In <i>Videodrome</i> these changes take their most notorious form as a slit that develops in the protagonist's stomach, turning him into a VCR in which videotapes (programming) can be inserted that will directly influence his actions.
