Jurassic Park Technology and Modernization Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Jurassic Park.

Quote #7

LEX: I'm a hacker! […] I am not a computer nerd; I prefer to be called a hacker.

We're not sure exactly what makes Lex a hacker. Sure she gets onto a computer at the end, but all she does is open a file. If that's all it takes, as long as you can double-click, you're a hacker.

Quote #8

JOHN HAMMOND: This is just a delay. That's all it is. All major theme parks had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked.

DR. IAN MALCOLM: If the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

This quote is a good combination of John Hammond's arrogance and his disrespect of technology.

Quote #9

LEX: It's a UNIX system. I know this.

Lex's classic line inspired a subreddit dedicated to movies, TV shows, and video games that criminally misunderstand technology.
