Movies are infamously terrible at depicting computers with even a modicum of accuracy. Even UNIX gurus raised an eyebrow in confusion when Lex announced in Jurassic Park, “It’s a UNIX system! I know this!” (In fairness, she was at least looking at a real application, but not one readily recognizable as “UNIX”.)

In delightful contrast to the stereotypical Hollywood computer experience, Joshua Nimoy describes creating the special effects for Tron Legacy. I particularly enjoy the use of emacs.
