For instance today would say "Terminator, August 29, 1997, at 2:14 AM Eastern Time, Skynet becomes self-aware"

The practical application of this is it might remind you to rewatch these classics, many of which have reference important social subjects to think about. Nineteen Eighty Four for instance, Running Man, and of course Terminator which in this, the dawn of the age of AI, might have some real potential significance.

Hmm. Actually might be cool to have a button where you customize what you want to be reminded of. "Dates in Roman history" or "Dates of great discoveries in science and technology."

Ohh, I know, a link on your calendar app to iPhotos where you get reminder pics like they do in Facebook. Just a little icon in the corner you can expand if you want.
