Mindwalk (base on Fritjof Capras Turning Point, and I think it was made by his brother?) is one of the best physics “movies” I have seen. It is truly about systems thinking, and not offering answers, particularly to the social issues, but the conversation on atomic sizes is worth the ticket of admission alone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindwalk
The Unix model is really useful in my systems thinking precisely because thousands of components all use the stream in/out approach. This made then reliable within a system to be used together in many different combinations and interactions.
Also a good example of loose coupling that allows for good thinking of systems.
In school we watched the 1990 movie [MindWalk](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100151/). You can watch it on YouTube https://youtu.be/Uec1CX-6A38
Also laid out quite well in the 1990 movie "Mindwalk". [1]
A movie still worth watching even though it is dated.
