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.

Slightly off topic, but has anyone read 'Congo'? They had computers that could magically analyze everything from pixelated images to defining what type of animal was motion captured by their movement patterns. Some of the worst pie-in-the-sky computer technology I've ever encountered. And that was written by Michael Crichton, someone who I thought did good research.
