Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 29 Figure: Scene from Kubrickʼs 2001 1968, showing wall-mounted video displays in advance of their wide-spread commercial availability. Although the movie depicts much human-computer interaction, the scenes depicting navigation and interaction are minimal, in part not to distract from the primary story line. Some science-fiction movies depict brief, standard sign-on/start moments and close-ofcommunication moments. No moments of adjusting contrast, selecting persons, zooming or cropping, or repositioning are indicated in this scene and most others depicted in science-fiction movies of this time. (Acknowledgement: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer TBD.) Mechanical Monsters, 1941. 29
Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 30 Robots were introduced as a theme of sci-fi literature by Hugo Gernsback in the 1920s. Actually, the story of the Golem, a kind of artificial creature created out of mud, dates back to Genesis stories regarding Adam, and emerged in Jewish literature over the centuries. The most well known is the late sixteenth-century creature “designed” by Rabi Judah Loew ben Bezalel, also known as the Maharal, the Chief Rabbi of Prague, Czechoslovakia. “Modern” robots continue to be featured in many science-fiction movies, such as Mechanical Monsters, Fleischer Studios, 1941, a second Superman animation, in which Superman saves Lois Lane while battling flying robots. This particular movie inspired scenes in Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow, one of the first movies to be made on a personal computer, almost 70 years later. 30
