Tinseltown technology

Our request for Hollywood computer ridiculousness prompted a hearty response that should easily last us through the summer.
‘I’d like to suggest starting with every series of 24,’ says Rob Partis at Transform Sandwell. ‘They seem to have the most hi-tech system on the planet – it’s able to control satellites, tap phones, decrypt anything in “a few minutes” – yet every season they are hacked by someone with a laptop and a mobile phone, who then locks them out of their own system, and begins some kind of nuclear attack. Surely the head of IT security should have “had a meeting” by now, resulting in his seeking new employment?’
That’s a fair point, but we have the feeling that it wouldn’t make a great episode. Unless they torture him first. There’s a thought for any Backbytes-reading HR managers. Keep the suggestions coming.
