THINGS COMPUTERS CAN DO IN MOVIES
>
> 1. Word processors never display a cursor.
> 2. You never have to use the space-bar when typing long sentences.
> 3. Movie characters never make typing mistakes.
> 4. All monitors display inch-high letters.
> 5. High-tech computers, such as those used by NASA, the CIA or
some
> such
> governmental institution, will have easy to understand graphical
> interfaces.
> 6. Those that don't have graphical interfaces will have incredibly
> powerful
> text-based command shells that can correctly understand and execute
> commands
> typed in plain English.
> 7. Note: Command line interfaces will give you access to any
> information you
> want by simply typing, "ACCESS THE SECRET FILES" on any near-by
> keyboard.
> 8. You can also infect a computer with a destructive virus by simply
> typing
> "UPLOAD VIRUS". (See "Fortress".)
> 9. All computers are connected. You can access the information on the
> villain's
> desktop computer even if it's turned off.
> 10. Powerful computers beep whenever you press a key or the
screen
> changes.
> Some computers also slow down the output on the screen so that it
> doesn't go
> faster than you can read. (Really advanced computers will also
emulate
> the
> sound of a dot-matrix printer.)
> 11. All computer panels operate on thousands of volts and have
> explosive
> devices underneath their surface. Malfunctions are indicated by a
> bright flash
> of light, a puff of smoke, a shower of sparks and an explosion that
> causes you
> to jump backwards.
> 12. People typing on a computer can safely turn it off without saving
> the data.
> 13. A hacker is always able to break into the most sensitive computer
> in the
> world by guessing the secret password in two tries.
> 14. You may bypass "PERMISSION DENIED" message by using the
"OVERRIDE"
> function. (See "Demolition Man".)
> 15. Computers only take 2 seconds to boot up instead of the average 2
> minutes
> for desktop PCs and 30 minutes or more for larger systems that can
run
> 24
> hours, 365 days a year without a reset.
> 16. Complex calculations and loading of huge amounts of data will be
> accomplished in under three seconds. Movie modems usually appear to
> transmit
> data at the speed of two gigabytes per second.
> 17. When the power plant/missile site/main computer overheats, all
> control
> panels will explode shortly before the entire building will.
> 18. If you display a file on the screen and someone deletes the file,
> it also
> disappears from the screen (See "Clear and Present Danger").
> 19. If a disk contains encrypted files, you are automatically asked
> for a
> password when you insert it.
> 20. Computers can interface with any other computer regardless of the
> manufacturer or galaxy where it originated. (See "Independence Day".)
> 21. Computer disks will work on any computer has a floppy drive and
> all
> software is usable on any platforms.
> 22. The more high-tech the equipment, the more buttons it will have.
> (See
> "Aliens".)
> 23. Note: You must be highly trained to operate high-tech computers
> because the
> buttons have no labels except for the "SELF-DESTRUCT" button.
> 24. Most computers, no matter how small, have reality-defying
> three-dimensional
> active animation, photo-realistic graphics capabilities.
> 25. Laptops always have amazing real-time video phone capabilities
and
> performance similar to a CRAY Supercomputer.
> 26. Whenever a character looks at a monitor, the image is so bright
> that it
> projects itself onto their face. (See "Alien" or "2001".)
> 27. Searches on the internet will always return what you are looking
> for no
> matter how vague your keywords are. (See "Mission Impossible", Tom
> Cruise
> searches with keywords like "file" and "computer" and 3 results are
> returned.)
