Serenity would have us believe Mr. Universe is an all powerful tech-god, and they prove it by showing us all the screens. Look at all the screens! "He has so many screens, he must know what he's doing!"
I'm here to tell you otherwise.
Yes, we all know reality & movies are not very similar...especially when looking at a Sci-Fi movie. Specifically, I've come to realize that lots of screens and cool looking computers is not a sign of technological superiority or savvy or wealth or intelligence. Serenity would have us believe Mr. Universe is an all powerful tech-god, and they prove it by showing us all the screens. Look at all the screens! "He has so many screens, he must know what he's doing!" I'm here to tell you otherwise. I currently have 3 laptops set up in my room/office + an external monitor. Why? Good question! The Work computer started giving me issues, so I ordered a New one and started using the Old personal laptop until the new one arrived. Old laptop is very old and can't access my printer or my Outlook (which I use for work). Work laptop is somewhat infected (weird sites pop up when I try to access facebook) but it still gets me to Outlook and my printer. New laptop was a lemon - blue-screened after about 20 minutes. Reset; repeated blue screen. Called Lenovo and they are sending me a box so I can ship it to them and they can fix it. Until it arrives, I'm sharing this photo in the hopes that people will think I'm a super savvy-tech-goddess. I must be. Just look at all those screens! And for those who wish to laugh at my misfortune, you are welcome to. Eddie Izzard has a brilliant bit about this: Techno Fear & Techno Joy
