Despite the importance of telecommunications in our daily lives, many people tend to underestimate just how important they are, especially as we creep closer to Everything Is Online. This can lead to disbelieving statements or outright denial when digital trouble has analog effects. Even if traffic lights are going haywire, and water mains are popping from overpressure, they may protest against any suggestion that it has to do with computers.

In Summer Wars most of the family doesn't realize how serious the problem of the internet being taken over by a rogue AI is, inadvertently sabotaging attempts to defeat it twice - first when the AI still demonstrated only a single avatar, and again by removing ice that was cooling a supercomputer when it was on the verge of containing it. Only after it aims a space probe at a nuclear power station do they realize the magnitude.

In Digimon Adventure, once the kids learn they're in a computer-based world Tai becomes reckless since he thinks it's all virtual and nothing can hurt him. When he finally gets that it's not a video game and can kill him dead, he realizes what nearly happened to him and, well, bluescreens.
Both Digimon Adventure 02 and Digimon Xros Wars have "villains" who think they're basically playing a video game and not really hurting anyone doing so. Neither one takes it well when they realize they really did hurt a lot of innocent victims.
