Recently I was watching the movie Tron Legacy. In the movie the separate world that they entered was called The Grid. It was described as a digital frontier and how it was mapped out of circuits like freeways, like many of our cities today. They are built like a grid to make it easier to navigate. In this movie it shows the grid as a futuristic and technological system. Which can relate to The United States in the 1700's and 1800's because a grid like system was seen to take away from the natural land.
That is interesting how the grid system is relevant in this movie, it seems like this form of designing cities has a large impact on the functionality of modern day society in America.
