    Was it minority report or the matrix that showed humans storing data on glass?

    Either way, this is pretty cool.

      Minority Report had some glass storage stuff that was fun to see. He would insert a glass slide into the machine.

      I think the blade runner sequel had something like this too.

      It was Minority Report, during the sequence when Anderson is going through the footage of the murder in the beginning of the movie. One of the guys puts some video from a nearby computer into a small tablet -size piece of glass and hands it to Anderson who plugs it in and puts the video on the main screen.

      We’ve got some pretty good glove mouse things so we’re just kidding the pre-cogs.

      I think you’re thinking of Star Wars. Like episode 2 or something.

      In 2001, HAL is disconnected through glass like components.
