Warner Bros. has
recently released a brand spankin' new apocalyptic series on
YouTube! Yay! H+ The Digital Series is released in short episodes typically
ranging between 2-4 mins long aside from the intro and credits. The series
is set in a future world in which nearly everyone is connected to the
internet 24 hours a day via a high-tech H+ implant that uses a
floating hand-controlled interface that only the user can see. The user can listen to
music, video chat, record video, watch live streaming programs, and a lot more.
Which of course means there's no need for smart phones, computers,
and cameras.

It is also demonstrated
in one of the episodes that by simply coming in contact with another user, the
user can have the other's profile pop up on their interface. Pretty neat!
It reminds me of a similar concept used by French music artists, The
Toxic Avenger and Orelsan, in their
N'importe Comment music
video; in which everyone is walking around as their Facebook profile.

The H+ implant concept also brings to memory: alpha Gary Bell (Ryan Cartwright). Gary Bell is the high-functioning autistic on SyFy's
Alphas, who is able to see all electromagnetic wavelengths without the use of hardware. Like H+, he
can also access live cell phone and computer data, including those that are not
his own, which is way cooler don't ya' think?
In
H+ The Digital Series a virus released on the implant has killed billions of it's users. Each episode jumps between several story lines of
people before, during, and after the virus broke out. I find the series addicting. Although I wish the episodes were a little longer, I look
forward towards watching what happens next!
Check out H+ The Digital
Series on

Check out Alphas on

SyFy!
