Why do we have the tv and movie trope where computers must make stupid beeping sounds? That probably appealed to people twenty years ago.
When will we get rid of it?

Old computers had beeps for diagnostics, some modern still have them too.

The same reason why there's sound in space or cars explode when they crash.... It's just there for dramatic effect.
Imagine if the data center scenes were realistic, where people had to literally shout to each other to hear themselves over the fan noises.

No sound in space or classical music sounds more dramatic. Kubrick proved it in 68.

Kubrick was a cinematic genius. Modern directors are Hollywood money making machines.
they are just a convinient and universal way of indicating to viewers that something is happening
just like tones in voices, different kinds of beeps and sound effects convey what something is doing, even if you don't understand what it's actually doing (visually or otherwise)
sometimes they go a bit overboard, but i understand why they do it in general

>tfw the 286 turns on, beeps and chirps
I immediately associated it with good things to come. Good times.
Same reason we have clicks on mice

But there isn't sound in space
You can't argue that no sound or sound is better than sound

My computer wife beeps
So go fuck yourself
You either have light indication or sound on technology.

I like when there are servers everywhere and no one is yelling over the fans.

>remove beeper
>completely silent
oh wait, you just showed you are tech illiterate.
>>59782992
computers, IT, programming, servers... Anything technical is grossly misrepresented by any retard in media or film. They just don't have a fucking clue.
Aside from the fact they use the damn things every day themselves
