    On the other hand you have Star Trek, which basically invented our modern computing interfaces that aren’t keyboard and mouse.

      Yup, they just never figured out to have fuses and relays in the instrument panels. No wonder Geordi is blind.

        The sparks are just the UI telling you someone is attacking. Think of it like force feedback on a controller.

      There’s an episode of DS9 where they use pen-based computing for a scene. It’s hilarious.

          Can’t remember but i think it was mid-series. Dax and the doctor were in the scene iirc. It was in the - y’know, command area outside Sisko’s office.
