You are a Timex Watch in a Digital World!

Die hard 4 live free or Die (2007)

When someone hacks into the computers at the FBI’s Cyber Crime Division; one of the cops they ask is John McClane who is tasked with bringing a hacker named Farrell to the FBI. But as soon as he gets there someone starts shooting at them… this is the beginning of this terrific movie

Thomas Gabriel described John McClane: “You are a Timex watch in a digital world!”

I really need to take sometimes to understand this, whether Thomas was trying to say John was a stubborn old chap?! Or he is a tough Timex Iron Man who isn't fit enough to live in this digital world?  

Anyway that carry a negative tone about John, and I feel that Thomas was vilifying Timex watch.

What do you think!?

PS

By then there was no Apple iPhone, iPhone 2G 4MB or 8MB iPhone was launched in 28 June 2007. Farrell was using Nokia phone, obvious Nokia was still the world No. 1 top seller Hand Phone in the world.
