Tech Spotlight

Movies about computers or hacking have always been one of my favorite genres.  What is a shame is that Hollywood never seems to get it right.  Most computer movies are so far fetched from reality, even though they are entertaining.  The 3 listed below are my favorites with a brief plot summary.  I have also made a poll with a list of 10, so we can vote and see what the most popular is among the fans.  If you have some of your own personal favorites leave a comment with the computer/hacking movie title and why it is the best in your opinion.

1 - Pirates Of Silicon Valley - Centered around Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, this a fairly accurate representation of how the personal computer industry came to be.

2 - The Net - A software engineer (Sandra Bullock) uncovers a virus that pits her in the middle of computer espionage.

3 - Triumph Of The Nerds - A 3 hour documentary that starts at the very beginning before there was a personal computer and explains how the computer revolution was born.
