My favorite is in movies you can connect any computer system to any other computer system without any problems. Best demonstrated in Indepenence Day where an Apple Laptop is connected to the Alien computer. What type of connection do you think they used? Also, all programs are platform independent. You can write a program one one system and it will run on any other system (see above referenced movie) Also, you never have to worry about having the correct program to open a file type. Finally in the future people will have great memories because no matter how many switches, dials, or buttons a computer has people will Know which ones they need to press without the buttons being labled or having to consult a reference chart. See Aliens, Star Trek, Star Wars, or any other science fiction movie.
