Technology and TV Shows

I have been watching the past Spooks shows recently and I came across one of the stupidest things I have seen in a while. TV shows and films commonly mock up gadgets and other high tech devices, sometimes these are done well and sometimes they are not.
The image below is supposed to be of a recording device or data device being connected to a computer to transfer the information off.

Data DeviceI

As you can see someone is putting a microchip with parts of its legs cut off into a card reader! I guess this type of thing goes unnoticed to most people but its a stupid unnecessary thing for the shows producers to do and in my opinion spoils things.

    I'm not tech savvy enough to have noticed this particular problem, but I regularly want to scream at my television and at movie screens at the way computer displays are portrayed. Huge icons and words which say things like "Countdown" and "Red Alert" always make me groan.
    I do really enjoy Spooks though. :)
