i watched Ghost in the Shell last night, and there's a lot to talk about in that film, but the thing that i've latched onto is this gif

i think this is the Style-Over-Substance that the cyberpunk genre is drenched in, executed perfectly. Obviously this dude could jack into this computer to commune with it faster. The manga this movie is based on predates USB by 7 years, but some sort of port for broadly interfacing with computers is shown to exist in universe, used a few times by the Major

(couldn't find a gif of her plugging in but trust me) so, WHY doesn't the hackerguy just jack into that computer? because that would be less visually interesting, and Ghost in the Shell is a visual story. It also wouldn't portray, as strongly, the pervasiveness and the subtlety with which the Shell surrounds the Ghost. Previously, this guy appeared to just be some guy. The film spends a lot of time talking about how the Major, Bato, and others are extremely mechanical, and how they require frequent maintenance, but unless you know, it's difficult to tell. This guy's fingers bursting apart is shocking, silly, impractical, and impactful, in a way that more ports just wouldn't be. We've seen those before, and they're an addition to the body. Those typing fingers have replaced his means of interacting with the world. Ghost in the Shell asks where the line between a Ghost and its Shell is, and this scene is another way to blur that line.
