These computer screens, readouts in 2001 are fascinating - there's focus on the information, a little bit of graphic there and here and nothing else. Probably HAL manages the rest. If AI will become the basic form of interaction with computers then perhaps our interfaces will be simplified as well - at least for the mass-market end users. The other GUI I really like is MAGI from Evangelion - all these black screens with classic amber color accompanied by red, green and teal fit very well together - especially with the volumetric-holographic displays from new tetralogy
