Re: nice

The guys using the computers in movies and TV shows are actors.
They are acting. What you see is always a slideshow.

You see, if they clicked wrongly on something, they would have to reshoot.
That costs money, and delays production.

So, they rather pay a few dimes to some nerd who can do slides, and have him click the space bar behind the camera (although sometimes the actor is the one that triggers switches, but not always).
