#13I've seen so many ridiculous "hacking" sequences in films that I really wasn't expecting this series to go into as much realistic detail as they do. Also most hacking stuff in films is at its worst when it comes to the dialogue which somehow always has to have something to do with shutting down a "mainframe".

Minority Report had almost no effect on UI as it was both internally incoherent, ergonomically untennible, and depended on non existent technology. In fact in many ways it set back the dreams of UI by teaching a generation to value nonsensical interactions and poor ergonomics over usability
Exactly why people are influenced by it.
