Everyone either owns a computer, or uses them as part of a job, or has been at least exposed to them.

As a result, computers on TV often bear only superficial resemblance to their real life counterparts. In fact, they are often just a [[Clarke's Third Law|21st-century substitute for magic]]. A [[Techno Wizard|Computer Wizard]] ''is'' a literal wizard. Evoking arcane words with their keyboard, they cast spells into the infinite (and physically real) realms of [[Cyberspace]].
