Another tech movie myth
Well I have one other myth for you. Technology makes a noise.
characters zipping onto a screen does so to the sound of little chirrups as each character is displayed. Every flashing LED has a sounder next to it and goes bleep in time with the flashing. A remote camera with very loud zoom motor beams back the signal to the agent in hiding to the sound of morse code.
and my favourite, every button press on any piece of technology, be it a bank ATM or a TV remote control, beeps.

Don't forget that you have to have lots of binary whizzing around the background, so the Hacker/CTU agent/Spy knows that they are, in fact, using a computer and not a television/mobile phone/dishwasher. You simply can NOT do anything productive on a computer if you don't have an entirely customised operating system interface!
Let's not forget that you scan people with lasers frequently so you can have 3D models of them rotating placidly as you talk about them or have wireframe models of them indicating where something was implanted/removed/discovered.
