The Exorcist at 50: a terrifying film that symbolises the decline of America’s faith and optimism

The Exorcist is not a film about a successful exorcism, but about what we do in the face of uncertainty and the cynical grinning face of the demon doubt.

He can’t know that it will work, but he acts. Pazuzu, the demon of doubt, would prefer he didn’t act at all.

In addition, the cellular network functions of some older devices like Kindles, iPads and Chromebooks are tied to 3G networks. Similarly, some older internet-connected systems like home security, car navigation and entertainment systems, and solar panel modems are 3G-specific. Consumers will need to upgrade or replace these systems. So why are the telecommunications carriers turning off their 3G networks?
