Those Computers From The Movies
Aren’t you amazed of what those computers from movies can do ?
I wonder … did they hire Bill Gates to write a new operating system for them ?
If they did … this is what they implemented:
- Word processors never display a cursor.
- You never have to use the spacebar when typing long sentences.
- All monitors display 2 inch high letters.
- High-tech computers, such as those used by NASA, the CIA, or some such governmental institution, have easy-to-understand graphical interfaces.
- Those that don’t will have incredibly powerful text-based command shells that can correctly understand and execute commands typed in plain English.
- Corollary: You can gain access to any information you want by simply typing ACCESS ALL OF THE SECRET FILES on any keyboard.
- Likewise, you can infect a computer with a destructive virus by simply typing UPLOAD VIRUS.
- Powerful computers beep whenever you press a key or whenever the screen changes. Some computers also slow down the output on the screen so that it doesn’t go faster than you can read. The *really advanced ones also emulate the sound of a dot-matrix printer as the characters come across the screen.
- People typing away on a computer will turn it off without saving the data.
- A hacker can get into the most sensitive computer in the world before intermission and guess the secret password in two tries.
- If you display a file on the screen and someone deletes the file, it also disappears from the screen.
- Whenever a character looks at a VDU, the image is so bright that it projects itself onto his/her face.
I would like to try one of those 😀
