Same for my argument too.

There is also the cultural factor. The age when I was going to make a decision about which high school to choose and what kind of study to pursue, we had the chance to enjoy the release of a few of the best sci-fi movies/shows ever made. Those movies had the black screen, neon green/blue strokes and fonts as the main design language. Looking at the letters falling down in the movie Matrix, it was like "coooool, I wanna be able to type those in real time and make computer do stuff".
