If the request was made by a script it could be found out by simply analyzing how fast the requests were made and that's our world, not the future displayed within that show. | |

This might have been necessary to let the viewers understand what is really going on. It would not mean anything to them, if the computer just froze for half a second (if even for so long), executing a few simple web requests. These days viruses can do internet data exchange without even the best antivirus software noticing, let alone people. This is an interesting theory nevertheless. | |
