In case any of you technologically-minded people are wondering what other
less-technologically minded are getting out of WARGAMES, I can let you in
on the secret that lots of them are hearing TECHNOLOGY is BAD, 
pure and simple. I still havent seen the movie, but when I went
home to my parents the other night to celebrate my brother's birthday I
found the whole family was debating whether WARGAMES was a vehicle for
demonstrating the virtues of Marxism. (My brother discovered Marxism
2 years ago and still thinks it is the neatest thing since sliced
bread.) Everybody was agreed that it says that "TECHNOLOGY is EVIL";
not that hard a proposition for my family to swallow, all of whom believe
that Technology is at best "not-very-good".

Both my brother and my mother claimed that "everyone they knew" thought
that technology was "more evil" as a result of seeing WARGAMES.
My mother, interestingly enough, has also not seen WARGAMES.
