HAL's visual displays make me giggle, as do the computer readouts in all of the pre-TNG Star Trek movies. (Watch Spock playing chess with the computer in The Voyage Home.) Graphical user interfaces definitely overshot everything that anyone predicted. Or maybe it's just because filmmakers couldn't resist using modern computer games as models for their futuristic computers.
