I would have actually watched “Wonder Woman” if Linda Carter had worn an invisible suit.

That wasn't just any old computer, that was a classic Mac!
(Which I suppose is better than the only movie reference I can think of for Unix. The park control system in Jurassic Park ran Unix, and the unit on the film looked like an AT&T 3B1.)

An airplane is too complex, dangerous and paranoia-inducing of a system to introduce a massive change into. Remember the Concorde? A single crash and the entire program was scrapped.There was more to it than that. Aerodynamically speaking, the Concorde had a highly threatening wake, much, much more so than the B757 as reflected by the "757 Heavy, Wake Turbulence" that you'll hear when listening to ATC radio traffic.
Let a model of aircraft lose the confidence of passengers, along with having a large required separation on take off and landing (which reduces the maximum amount of airport throughput) and that model will die. Much like McDonnell Douglas did some years ago with their commercial aircraft.

Wouldn't it just be simpler and cheaper to design planes with larger windows???
