To the right is what a computer display in ''[[Star Wars]]'' looks like. Now look anywhere at your screen, and compare to what your computer can do.

Line 52 ⟶ 54:
* In ''[[Knight Rider]]'', all of KITT's "complex" displays are source listings of BASIC programs.
* Even worse, in ''[[Timeslip]]'', a futuristic (evil) computer can output ''directly as brainwaves'' or on a video screen. The video screen ''shows the image of a teletype printing out the computer's output.''
* The makers of the original ''[[Battlestar Galactica
** Oddly enough, the [[Battlestar Galactica
*** It is presumably due to trying to avoid this trope that you don't really see the computer displays on the ''Pegasus'' (which is a more up to date battlestar) or any of the civilian ships, all of which would be running the "current day" (or at least more modern) colonial computers as opposed to the obsolete systems on the ''Galactica''.
*** The spin-off ''[[Caprica]]'' used much more flashy looking displays and technology in general - for instance, the tablet device Zoe uses and then rolls up to put back in her pocket.
** When the film ''[[Space Mutiny]]'' (which used classic ''Galactica'' scenes) was featured on ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', Mike and the 'bots took notice of this easily.
