In Halt and Catch Fire one of the main characters uses the term "killer app" which I'm not sure is period correct for the early eighties. Always bugged the crap out of me.
It was coined in the late 80s, but as far as "affronts to tech" that is a very minor offence compared to what shows normally pull
I definitely remember hearing that term in the 90โs.
