people in movies would still be only to speak using movies quotes of movies that where made before this all happen, thus no circumvent this attempt to speak normal.

...Uh-huh. Well, this would sure be a mass adjustment. And people would have to watch a whole lot more movies than they already do in order to expand their array of pre-set words and phrases to choose from.

Also, I suppose that non-verbal forms of communication like writing and typing are still affected by ASB shenanigans?

Nope only voices, also you are correct, if people want to communicate more, they need to see a lot more movies.

Uh-huh. I suppose that even if its members are affected and they probably have to incorporate more IP’d terms and phrases (i.e. Google it), this would be the ultimate boondoggle for Hollywood and its ilk.

What if every active warship is replaced by a 1914 warship.

  Is it movie quotes or quotes from movies their seen?  If the former then people can probably talk pretty much normally, other than in some technical areas I would say - which could be a problem.  Since we're had talkies for nearly a century and how many tens of thousands of movies which include a wide range of subjects so many normal phases would probably already exist somewhere.  Although there's still a problem, especially with names for people and places especially.  For instance "I'm going to the shops X" probably works as it or something like it would have been said in many films.  However does one exist where your name is X?  Ditto a mention of named places exist but whether they do for where people actually live - such as my town or nearby larger locations I doubt.  I.e. very likely there's a quote for someone to say "I work/live/whatever in London" say but smaller locations, such as my childhood home in Crowland would be rather unlikely I suspect.

  Your also saying lordroel, that new films can't be created to get around this.  That suggest, unless there's some very complex controlling mechanism no new films can be produced.  Which would have a sizeable cultural and economic impact.

Movies can be made, but people can only speak in movie quotes.

Then ASB’s shenanigans don’t apply to you. In which case, you’re probably part of a fortunate minority.

What if all political decision are only announced on Twitter.

Can news organizations still report on the Twitter announcements, i.e. include screenshots and commentary in their articles and broadcasts?

Cool. Otherwise, I bet we’ll see lots of people checking Twitter directly to learn what politicians and candidates are up to.

Are they not already doing that in real life.

True. That said, even more people will probably do so more frequently if Twitter—rather than somewhere like YouTube or Instagram—is where politicians post their key announcements.

What if everything that is stored on every computer just vanished.
