Winifred Madgers posted:You mean, before typewriters, I assume. No. Typewriters only did one thing. Computers were arcane to people who grew up in a time before they became common. The concept of typing a phrase and a complex series of actions being performed was pretty much a first in the history of the human race. We're talking about people who expected that in order to make a ship go, you needed to bark orders into an oily, sweaty room full of men who grunted and strained at valves, switches, and shouted orders through tubes. Your computer keyboard or phone would be completely alien to the typical person in the 1960s. Sure, they could figure out how to write (once you explained the concept of a mouse, of a desktop, and then how to click on notepad.exe) but it'd be an uphill struggle to show them hotkeys, macros, and configurations.

Computer keyboards went through a fair amount of changes from typewriters, but even aside from that, typewriters were never as common as keyboards later became. There was less proliferation of the technology, and there was even a dumb bullshit bias against using typewriters so that a lot of professionals would just have typists instead of doing typing themselves, leaving the actual typewriter as a mysterious thing. I'd assume that with all the cameras and microphones and lights on a TV set, there'd be some kinds of mysterious consoles full of buttons, switches, and sliders to control all of that that would be totally mysterious to any layman. Maybe even a box of fuses put someplace weird. I don't know anything about 60s TV though.

Oh man you have no idea. Early TV capture and transmission was using bleeding-edge technology. Analog TV was a very weird technology that is rapidly fading into an arcane mystery.

I just watched TNG "Night Terrors" and I totally forgot that on top of all the psychological horror, it had this entire plot of Data basically being the only competent person in the room, and finishing peoples sentences for efficiency, and finally basically being in complete control of the ship, culminating in him ordering every single officer to bed. That is super bad rear end. Also, given our real life experiences of the last couple years, can you imagine what it would be like to be those people freaking out in Ten Forward, suddenly hearing "this is acting captain Data reporting". I'd probably be ready to shoot the warp core, myself! EDIT #2: now that I think about it, every member of the crew that isn't the main cast must be terrified of Data. Like, in Brothers, when he just straight up steals the ship. We the audience forgive Data because we know the whole story. The rest of the crew did not see any of that poo poo, and now think that the third in command, a one-in-existence Android with no emotions, is possibly out to kill them. "Why is he allowed to keep his command!?!" would be what I'm thinking in that situation. Bucswabe fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Nov 7, 2021 |

The funny thing about this is we still have typewriter ideas underlying our most widespread tech. HTTP officially uses a "carriage return" + "line feed" characters to denote a new line of text, and different operating systems and programs still argue over which combination of CR and LF to use for newline.

To be fair the double cr/lf is less about typewriter ideas and more was a hack to cover a lack of standardisation in teleprinters.

I always laugh at this specific shot because if not for the in-universe costumed hand on the left, it could have easily been a piece of stock footage in shot of “random high tech early 80s It’s so weirdly out of place, even with that film having a bunch of extreme close ups of buttons and such otherwise, like the famously insane way to enter a numerical code when remotely lowering Reliant’s shields. It really goes to show the genius of Okuda just printing back-lit transparencies and telling actors to pretend to push certain parts of it— especially in dead silence on the set as the sound effects were all added later but look completely tactile on screen.

Stardate 44086.3 First Watch, First Bell security team briefing minutes (excerpted): "Wait, you mean to tell me Lt. Commander Data hasn't been thrown in the brig?" - Ens. Donner "It was a type 3 mental control scenario. He was taken over by an outside agent of known origin." -Lt. Worf (everyone nods and moves onto the next order of business)

They really sort of gloss over the fact that Odo should be seen by Kira and anyone else in the Resistance as a collaborator. The closest they come to addressing it is "Things Past", and that's such a weirdly structured episode that it really doesn't get a chance to examine it in any sort of depth.

There's a throwaway like at the beginning where the Bajoran delegation gave Odo an award and said something like "He worked for the Cardassians but he only served justice." Also I don't really see a huge difference between Odo and any other branch of station/ship security. Worf looked like a kid on Christmas morning every time he escorted someone to the brig. Tuvok lobbied for the death penalty.
