With the computer market exploding into success the last 20 years more and more movies are featuring people using computers. Being a computer geek myself, I expect a level of "technological reality" for the movies that are not in the realm of "sci-fi", but directors usually are feeding their movies with superficial scenes about computers just for the happy clapping from the computer-illiterate audience.

I always find it funny all the wierd beeps and twirps that accompany absolutely every action on computers in movies. Every click, every keystroke, twirp twirp beep.
One thing that really annoys me is that actors will go through rigorous training and study to get everything right for a role, EXCEPT learn how to type for their typing scene. Did you notice all the hunt-and-pecking in Hackers? Or how Sandra Bullock never, ever hits the spacebar in The Net?
