    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the presentation of gadgets and technology in U.S. motion pictures. The author mentions the prominence of huge cell phones in the 1987 movie "Wall Street," starring Michael Douglas, Humphrey Bogart's car phone in the 1954 film "Sabrina," and the so-called electronic brains in the 1957 film "Desk Set." However, the author notes that gadgets have been presented poorly onscreen in the films "Firewall" in 2006 and "One Missed Call" in 2008.
