I never saw that movie but there's a scene sort of like it in "Blast from the Past". Basically a guy with a 1960's science education (because he grew up in an underground bomb shelter) emerges into the world of the 90's. When he's told that his friend has a personal computer, his reaction is "His own computer?! You mean, inside the house?!" etc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
