Hmmmm. Anyone know what terminals were used in Colossus: The Forbin Project? You know. For verisimilitude.

  As I recall, that movie used exclusively CRT:s and running light displays. Teletypes were used in the background, but their output was never shown.

    No Teletypes. The input device in the movie was an ordinary IBM Selectric typewriter. Not even one with a computer interface. That movie is worth watching today. It's the Singularity, happening.

  For verisimilitude there should be the big pixellated signboard up on a pedestal in the middle of the room, with the giant messages crawling across, and the clackety-clack that the film soundtrack played when the messages crawled. Messages like "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't recall the ICBMs. Maybe you would like to play today's Wordle?"
