Was it minority report or the matrix that showed humans storing data on glass?

Either way, this is pretty cool.

Minority Report had some glass storage stuff that was fun to see. He would insert a glass slide into the machine.

Thanks! That may have been the case I was thinking of.

And Star Craft and Stargate. Must be something a lot of sci-fi stuff has.

in The Expanse their ships are somehow powered/controlled by a shelf of things that look like this

I think the blade runner sequel had something like this too.

In 2001, HAL is disconnected through glass like components.

I think you're thinking of Star Wars. Like episode 2 or something.

[–] ShustOne@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago

Definitely I'm Minority Report as well in several scenes

[–] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don't remember this anywhere in the matrix

It was Minority Report, during the sequence when Anderson is going through the footage of the murder in the beginning of the movie. One of the guys puts some video from a nearby computer into a small tablet -size piece of glass and hands it to Anderson who plugs it in and puts the video on the main screen.

We've got some pretty good glove mouse things so we're just kidding the pre-cogs.
