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.

Correction 1: In the matrix, they depict the world around 1999. Therefore the use of ssh is entirely correct. It is in the future, but simulation (The matrix) is modelled around 1999.
Correction 2: About language, there is really not much you can do about language because the audience have to understand you. You could try create a few new words and all, but at the end of the day, you must not lose the audience. Language is very peripheral. However, is you are doing a film about the middle ages, language becomes more important, because people can actually relate to that.
