Born in the early 80s, I didn’t stumble onto the movie until the hazy early 2000s. My friends and I laughed at how we were tinkering with phones and PCs just like the kids onscreen.
Real hacking was dull, and those slick laptops didn’t exist—real ones were clunky, heavy, and overpriced (we all had desktops). But the movie still cemented my love of computers and nudged me into IT. Decades later, I’m still grinning and amazed at how far tech has raced ahead.
