If only real-life UNIX commands were that easy to execute. I suppose they forgot to mention that in the movies, human fingers move at the speed of light. Huge data files are zipped from one location to another within seconds. All computer software have 3-dimensional rendered interfaces. The Internet is the portal to every conceivable type of database.
Computer monitors burst into a huge shower of sparks and flames whenever the CPU malfunctions.
But think of all the false images such movies create in the minds of the IT-illiterate. The last thing they need is to be told that computers can read their minds or that machines can perform miracles. Computers may have superhuman powers in the Year 2999, but spare us in 1999. And of course continue to tell the less experienced that computers aren't that smart. Take our Poll and let us know what you think.
