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.

Hehe. True there are problems with computers and geeks, and how both are depicted in movies. Remember in movies that computers can explode, throwing shrapnal. But they do also tantalize our imagination as to how computers could be. e.g. Star Trek, Star Wars, Minority Report.
BTW Don't also forget how computers are depicted on TV as well. e.g Earth: Final Conflict.
