yesterday, we were discussing some Computer-related movies<br>
because "The Net" was on TV at the time.<br>
<br>
A few came up:<br>
* Hackers (1995)<br>
* Tron (1982)<br>
* WarGames (1983)<br>
* Hacker (2016)<br>
* Her (2013) - set in the near-future<br>
* CitizenFour<br>
* Snowden<br>
* The Circle (2017)<br>
* Antitrust (2001)<br>
* The Pirates of Silicon Valley<br>
<br>
and that PBS documentary _The Triumph of the Nerds_ with an
insider view<br>
from an early Apple employee<br>

<br>
Hackers and WarGames are the worst in the list. The Net was
terrible and<br>
so was the sequel. The last 3 are worth a watch if you haven't
seen<br>
them. These are historical and current year movies.<br>
<br>
<br>
TV<br>
<br>
There have been many recent TV series about computing. Silicon
Valley<br>
and Halt and Catch Fire come to mind. The IT Crowd and Chuck
are always<br>
funny.<br>
<br>
Many are on APV or Netflix or Youtube (free).<br>
<br>
We avoided all the Hacking-centric shows. Mr. Robot S3 will
be on<br>
Amazon Prime next month. S1 and S2 are there already. Real
hackers<br>
validate that everything they claim on the show is possible,
BTW.<br>
<br>
Antitrust and The Circle show how far fictitious companies are
willing<br>
to go. I suspect they aren't far from reality at all.<br>
<br>
What movies in the same "computing startup" vein did we miss?<br>
