Ian Malcolm's 'so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should' became the stock objection to every new technology after 1993. 'It's a UNIX system! I know this!' turned into a programmer in-joke that happens to be accurate -- the on-screen interface was fsn, a real experimental 3D file browser for Silicon Graphics IRIX. And the film's most-quoted line is usually misquoted: on screen it is 'Life, uh, finds a way'.
