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.

[Animats]

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?"
