Yeah, if Peter is a college graduate in this movie he'd be about 22 years old. They said his parent left when he was 6 years old. So they're saying that his father uploaded a video file on sat-link from an airplane via his laptop in 1998.
He wasn't graduating college, he was graduating high school. So that would make him about 18 at the oldest. If his parents left him at 6, that would put them on the plane in 2002, assuming the movie takes place in 2014. Wifi for home use came out around 1999.(

The real question here is who the hell does top secret work on a gat damn Vaio? I guess when the parent company that distributes your movie is Sony, you do.
HOWEVER, that is the least of this movies problems...
SPOILERS BELOW
I have many questions for this shitbag of a movie.
How did Electro get a pretty advanced suit that can dissipate and reconstitute when he turns into pure electricity so quickly after getting rescued by Harry? It even had a cute little lightning bolt on the arm. Was it already made? Was it sitting there in the basement with the other Sinister Six battle suits? If it was then why didn't Harry just get into the goblin suit right then?
Why did Harry's disease progress so quickly? Norman said it begins to manifest at around Harry's age and that it was a genetic "curse" (meaning all of the Osbornes have it from birth) but he was well into his 50's before he succumbed to it. Harry basically went into full goblin mode in a few days (possibly overnight). Did Norman take some drugs or hire private doctors/scientists to help prolong his life and mask the symptoms? If so, then why didn't he give Harry those drugs and resources too?
If Harry knew that the goblin suit had healing tech inside it, why didn't he just get into the suit first before going after the spider venom? And he seemed to be healing up inside his cell at Ravencroft, so did the spider venom work or did the goblin suit work? If he no longer has access to either one now shouldn't he be reverting back to the goblin state, not getting better?
Does a huge company like Oscorp shut down completely for the day at 5 o'clock? My girl works as a chemist in the second largest automotive paint manufacturer corporation in the US and that shit is open 24/7. Smythe couldn't send a maintenance team in (or couldn't Max just call some support staff with proper equipment) to basically just plug two cables together? I know Max was the guy who designed the whole thing, but he didn't physically build the equipment himself.
Gwen Stacy is super smart yes, I like how she told Peter that he should magnetize his web shooters, but how is a high schooler an expert on the functions of the city's power grid? (Which apparently operates by pushing a big red button) I thought her expertise was in genetics, did she also intern in the city services department?
