Line 12:
As computers became more ubiquitous, the trope faded from the public consciousness, having been supplanted by [[Extreme Graphical Representation]]. ([[Real Life]] 21st-century mainframes don't even have diagnostic lights any more, at least not where people can see them.) Nowadays it's used in works that purposefully invoke [[Zeerust]], always paired with [[Beeping Computers]].
For the more modern meaning of "blinkenlights" as lighting up particular windows in a building in order to send messages, see [[Skyscraper Messages]].
Not to be confused with illumination for [[Nursery Rhyme|Winken, Blinken and Nod]].
