Yes, the military operates exactly as it did in War Games. When will they realize this and beef up the security?
Actually, after having met a navy launch officer, I learned that the US Navy, at least, has REDUCED security. You no longer even need to enter a code to launch. You just select a missile on your console and pull a little trigger and it starts the automated launch sequence. No checks at all, no security.

hrm, since 1998... most of the things I think that are cool were (in some form or other) around then:
broadband and wireless internet, multiplayer gaming, LEDs, TFTs, SSDs.
Actually bad: x86 has become the only platform for consumers.
First quantum computer, 2007.
Even though it was thought of a long time ago.
