Errors

In the 80s, errors weren't just computer problems - they were life lessons! From epic skateboard wipeouts to movie plot disasters, the decade was full of learning experiences.

Classic 80s movie error moments

• "WarGames" (1983): "The only winning move is not to play" - the ultimate error handling philosophy!
• "Short Circuit" (1986): Johnny 5's "ERROR! ERROR!" became an iconic catchphrase
• "Ferris Bueller's Day Off": Cameron's dad's Ferrari odometer rollback attempt - a classic user error! 🚗

Skateboard error analysis

• The Slam: 73% of all skateboard tricks in the 80s ended in spectacular failure
• The Bail: Sometimes the best error handling is just jumping off before it gets worse
• The Recovery: True 80s style meant getting back up and trying that rail slide again!

Financial error flashback

The Black Monday crash of October 19, 1987 saw the Dow Jones drop 22.6% in one day. It was like the entire stock market attempted a 900-degree spin and totally wiped out! 📉
