The latest release of the shadowrun has made deckers obsolete, instead
opting for saturated wireless network, named the matrix, to which
people directly log onto via their internal cybernetic datajacks.
Granted they had 'the matrix' prior to the movie release, there is
still mountains of influence evident in the new edition.
Apart from that, there are dozens of matrix sin offs and rip offs
which have spawned since it's initial release. It is one of the most
referenced movies in comedy.
