Bruce Willis Doesn’t Like Twitter, Facebook

Bruce WillisBRUCE Willis is scared of modern forms of communication.

The Die Hard actor — who starred in last year’s science fiction thriller Surrogates about technology taking over the world — thinks everyone is becoming too reliant on social networking as a form of talking to each other.

“What really disturbs me is the danger that lies in the fact that people want to communicate information quicker and quicker,” said Bruce. “I am not a big fan of social networks in electronic form. If the electricity dies, we would have to go home right now.”

The 54-year-old star says the death of Michael Jackson in June last year was an unprecedented example of how much the world relied on, and used technology to spread the word.

“The whole world knew in four seconds or at least a short time. 10, 20 years ago that would have been utopic. Information gets more compact and quicker,” he said.

When describing his role in Surrogates, Bruce also joked it must be the “10th or 11th” time he’d saved the world because he’d taken on so many action roles in his long career.

    Bruce is so right! I have seen myself the way people act when the power goes out. I know this one 15 year old girl that screamed at the top of her lungs because the power went out until she was taken to a relatives home to get back on the internet like it was oxygen or something!!! Most of society would crumble and not survive if power was lost and the internet and cell phones were not able to be used. Most people would freak out and be in a state of shock. If the united states ever becomes under attack, and the power is the first thing knocked out, god help us all, because we will be in major trouble and if you really think about it, you know it is true!!!!!
