Not as cool as satellites or polar bears, but as an early teen, I loved the movie Hackers. The computer scenes were SO fake looking (a favorite of /r/itsaunixsystem) but the idea of hacking a TV station and playing whatever you wanted was fascinating to me.
Now, as a radio producer, I use VNC quite often from my laptop and my iPhone to effect or schedule what is broadcast on our station. I use it weekly, if not daily, often out of such laziness that I'm VNC'd into a computer in the next cubicle over, just to avoid standing up.
On the flip side, it has saved me and many a co-worker from having to drive across town on a weekend or day off just to perform a simple task to fix a problem. So thanks for that.
