No, there's at least one other person - ponygirl2000.
I know what you mean - had similar arguments with people stating more or less the same thing. And you're correct, watching a movie about people staring into a computer in their basement or bedroom is not interesting. Plus it is a movie - it doesn't have to be a realistic reflection of anything, it does however have to be entertaining. And yes it helps if it is somewhat believable.
Why do people equate realism with entertainment? It's sort of an oxymoron if you think about it. If it wasn't, we wouldn't require movies, books, and tv to escape from reality.
