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.

You claimed Jurrassic Park was unrealistic.
Yeah, the dinosours were fine, but the computers were kind of fake.
Its a movie. Movies don't have to be real. People go to movies to be entertained, and a UNIX terminal is not entertaining.
Yeah, "Hackers" was funny for the literate like us, but my computer illiterate friend liked it too, and thats a nice thing.
I think a bigger complaint would be the way hackers are portrayed, as "evil". Thats just insulting to the many "hackers" who try to help.
