The story of Peter Pan began as a play by J.M. Barrie. The most recent incarnation of it is Pan, a movie to be released on October 9. But probably most of us, when hear of Peter Pan, think of the 1953 Disney movie of the same name. It's a lighthearted and innocent story that was a cherished part of your childhood. You'd share it with children today, right?
Maybe you shouldn't. Screen Junkies's long-running honest trailers series explains why Peter Pan is really, really disturbing.
Revisit the animated classic that you will make you say, "This is way creepier than I remembered." Peter Pan. Prepare for a film about an immortal trickster who spies on you through your bedroom window, sprinkles you with dust that makes you feel like you're flying, then kidnaps you to a war-torn island where full-grown adults force orphans to join their ranks or die. It's like a magical Sudan.

It certainly doesn't mean nothing. Lots of things are discovered and yet don't find mainstream (or any) uses for many years.
Given its size and deep connection to society, had AT&T decided to develop a magnetic tape machine for business and consumer use in the 1930s rather than be fearful of it, the impact of such actions could have been significant indeed, if only for introducing consumer answering machines 25 years or so earlier.
Meh, it's what corperations do.
