What movies teach you about computers
16 interesting things you can learn about computers from the movies
1. Any PERMISSION DENIED has an OVERRIDE function.
2. Complex calculations and loading of huge amounts of data will be
accomplished in under three seconds. In the movies, modems transmit
data at two gigabytes per second.
3. When the power plant/missile site/whatever overheats, all the
control panels will explode, as will the entire building.
4. If you display a file on the screen and someone deletes the file,
it also disappears from the screen. There are no ways to copy a
backup file -- and there are no undelete utilities.
5. If a disk has got encrypted files, you are automatically asked
for a password when you try to access it.
6. No matter what kind of computer disk it is, it'll be readable by
any system you put it into. All application software is usable by
all computer platforms.
7. The more high-tech the equipment, the more buttons it has.
However, everyone must have been highly trained, because the buttons
aren't labeled.
8. Most computers, no matter how small, have reality-defying
three-dimensional, real-time, photo-realistic animated graphics
capability.
9. Laptops, for some strange reason, always seem to have amazing
real-time video phone capabilities and the performance of a CRAY.
10. Whenever a character looks at a terminal, the image is so bright
that it projects itself onto his/her face.
11. Computers never crash during key, high-intensity activities.
Humans operating computers never make mistakes under stress.
12. (From Independence Day) No matter what kind of virus it is, any
computer can be infected with it -- even an alien spaceship's
computer -- simply by running a virus upload program on a laptop.
13. (From Jurassic Park) A custom system with millions of lines of
code controlling a multimillion dollar theme park can be operated by
a 13 year old who has seen a Unix system before. Knowing an
operating system means you know how to run any application on that
system, even custom apps.
14. You cannot stop a destructive program or virus by unplugging the
computer. Presumably the virus has it's own built-in power supply.
15. You cannot stop a destructive program downloading onto your
system by unplugging the phone line. You must figure out the
mandatory "back door" all evil virus programmers put in.
16. Computers only crash if a virus or a hacker is involved. In real
life Windows '95 has the amazing ability to crash for no reason at
all!
Lol real good points
However number 16. All window OS'es crash for no reason at all
