There will be some viewers who will feel that Defense Play is seriously out of date. It takes place back in a time not only when floppy disks were being used, but when floppy disks were actually floppy. But I admit that all this low-tech stuff in the movie was pleasantly nostalgic for me. I grew up with that now-dated technology, and it was nice seeing this obsolete stuff once again. It’s too bad that the movie’s script didn’t please me as much as the technology it presented.

Reminds me: back in the late 90’s I did some work that took me into secure areas — excuse me, “secure” areas — in a couple of different high-tech organizations. I soon discovered that an alarming number of the systems I worked on, regardless of who or which organization was responsible for them, had the same easy-to-guess password, or a simple variant thereof. So somehow it doesn’t surprise me a kid is able to get in and poke around wherever he wants.
