I am now seeing movies and television programmes in which software works flawlessly — the most recent programme that I saw was a (fictional) English TV series on MI - 5 in which the good guys defeated a nefarious plot to take down the British Internet by
first copying information in the Russian embassy on to a CD Rom and then using this information to send some kind of really serious virus to cripple a Russian
submarine doing nasty things to an undersea
cable.
