    I do love how despite the fact that the computer doesn’t have the capabilities of voice interfacing, it is nonetheless capable of accurately simulating the properties of a previously unknown substance based only on its input atomic structure.

    That is some very niche software.

      I love how despite never using a keyboard to do anything, he then types out 1000 lines of code in a matter of seconds with 100% accuracy.

      Nah, Scotty just rewrote the software as he went along. Of course, nothing says he didn’t also write in a self destruct to wipe out the program and the transparent aluminum, which is why history didn’t wind up changed by his actions.

        We have transparent aluminum now. It was first patented around the time the movie came out.

        It’s indeed quite hard, quite clear, and quite sturdy. It’s frequently used as bullet proof glass.
