If so, then it's perfectly possible for Sara's implant and the tablet to find each other. Servers are only really necessary if they either (a) provide an "always available" service when devices aren't always expected to be online at the same time as each other or (b) are used as a way of securing/authenticating data; which is only really relevant when customers exchange information. | |

It simply fails to get that far and stops at the obvious, then adds a bunch of dodgy fake tweets to make it sound like a complete and utter revelation. | |

Even if I personally would enjoy some more science explanation and integrity, sci-fi cinema that dives too deep into the science unfortunately tends to make most audiences feel alienated. | |
| Jan 4, 2018 at 16:26 | comment | added | Darth Locke | I agree, but with that being said, the ambiguity around the tech, especially in an episode where it's about controlling/monitoring children, including it's name, I think does invoke an additional sense of cynicism & something insidious happening behind the scenes. -It wouldn't be much of a stretch to imagine this was military-tech testing, even though we don't actually know it to be true. | |
