Looking at movies and the technology used in them is one of my favourite past times. Like a military person complaining about how weapons are portrayed in movies, I complain about technology and how it is used. Thankfully I am not the only one, as GideonTech compiles a Top 10 worst portrayals of technology in film, and no, the movie Hackers is not number one.
10) Wargames – 1983
9) The Italian Job – 2003
8) Antitrust – 2001
7) Hackers – 1995
6) Transporter 2 – 2005
5) Swordfish – 2001
4) Goldeneye – 1995
3) Mission: Impossible – 1996
2) Jurassic Park – 1993
To find out number one, you will have to go to their site. I have not seen the movie they mention in number one, so now I want to check it out and see if it is as cheesy as it sounds.
they forgot the all powerful code-breaking box in the 80′s hacker flick, Sneakers.
It would be more interesting to see a list of films with the most accurate portrayals of technology playing a prominent role.
