Computers Sure Looked Goofy In ’80s Movies

Video: It’s a supercut of the weirdest movie scenes with computers and computer interfaces from a time when even copying a simple file to a floppy was shown as some sort of magic trick.

YouTuber elsafrickey collected a whole bunch of these scenes from the ’70s, the ’90s, but mostly from the ’80s. Obviously, a giant flashing “ACCESS DENIED” sign looks more exciting on the big screen than someone typing “c:donotopentopsecret.txt” in a tiny MS-DOS window, but still, it will always look silly.
