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.

Gawd, that movie was so sad. I really cringed for him when I watched Hugh Jackman madly pounding away randomly on the keyboard to hack a government network while a gun was pointed at is head. Once he broke in and was asked how he had done it, he responded, "I'm not sure, sometimes I don't remember what I did and it just happens!" - like some kind of half-mystical zen-like force was involved in it. Oooooooh!!! He said those lines with such a straight face all I could do was stare dumbly at the screen at him.
