I did just realize you were born after the original Jurassic Park was released. :(

Is it me, or was Jurassic Park the last movie to have reasonably accurate scenes depicting a character interacting with a computer system?

Dude, they showed a 12 year-old girl who had used IRIX (and not only that, but an obscure, clumsy 3-D file system browser for IRIX.) I'll take some guy in a black leather trench coat clicking the "HACK" button which takes up 70% of his screen (and then watching a progress bar display his hacking progress) over that shit any day of the week.

There is a more recent movie. The plot summary on IMDB is:
Two business rivals hate each other at the office but fall in love over the internet.

Did you guess what is
that movie?

The Matrix Revolutions came out like a decade after that and had realistic hacking (at least inside the matrix).

Also I just realized The Matrix Revolutions itself came out a decade ago...

 

Addendum

Who gives a shit? The Matrix sequels were utter fucking nonsensical garbage. I'd rather they ditched the "realistic" hacking and have a fucking plot that I gave a shit about.

Hey, the UI on the Macs was legit too.

... or someone hacking the government while getting a blowjob. (If I had been the director I would have made the girl do both the hacking and the blowjob)
