Top 10 technology flaws in films

With the economy worsening and layoffs hitting more and more tech firms, IT news can be a bit depressing these days. Here's a short list of movies for the easily-annoyed geek to steer clear of. One of the most tried-and-trusted methods for beating the blues has always been to curl up with a good movie or two and get whisked away into another world.

Unfortunately for those in the tech world, Hollywood's portrayal of geeks has always been spotty at best. The unrealistic and implausible depictions can set a tech-happy viewer off on an irritated, complaining rant faster than it takes the glasses-clad movie geek to 'hack the mainframe'.

So, if you do look to Hollywood to kick your recession blues this fall, here's a short list compiled by vnunet.com of movies for the easily-annoyed geek to steer clear of (or not, if you want a good laugh.) If you want to add any of your own feel free to use the comments section below.
