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.

> While it may be true that Hollywood doesn't know much about computers, it's equally true that computer geeks don't understand cinema.
Wise words indeed.
However, the point is that it can become better and please everyone if the directors know what to do and how to do it... Matrix-Reloaded's and Minority Report's monitors are "technically impossible" (today), however they DO fly with all audiences, because they are not silly. These are good examples of what is superfluous but still "fly" and cut it just fine.
