Bruce Willis is scared of modern forms of communication.

The 'Die Hard' actor - who starred in last year's science fiction thriller 'Surrogates' about technology taking over the world - thinks everyone is becoming too reliant on social networking as a form of talking to each other.

He said: "What really disturbs me is the danger that lies in the fact that people want to communicate information quicker and quicker. I am not a big fan of social networks in electronic form. If the electricity dies, we would have to go home right now."

The 54-year-old star says the death of Michael Jackson in June last year was an unprecedented example of how much the world relied on, and used technology to spread the word.

He told German website TrailerSeite.de: "The whole world knew in four seconds or at least a short time. 10, 20 years ago that would have been utopic. Information gets more compact and quicker." When describing his role in 'Surrogates', Bruce also joked it must be the "10th or 11th" time he'd saved the world because he'd taken on so many action roles in his long career.
