Why do TV and movie producers think they have to patronize their viewers when it comes to computers? Its so stupid.

Anytime they show a computer screen it has some strange looking interface with huge flashing text, animations, etc. And when text goes across the screen they play goofy sound effects.

I think a majority of the viewing public has enough experience with computers to know that they don't go “beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep” when someone is typing. My 78 year old grandpa has a laptop for crying out loud!

I think we can handle it.]]>
