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.

My favorite computer interaction scene is from the Star Trek movie where they go back in time to save the whales. Scotty tries to use a mac. Scotty speaks to the computer: "Computer, please compute ...". Someone corrects him: "You have to use the mouse.". Scotty picks up the mouse, and speaks into it: "Right then. Computer, please compute ...".
