HAL's user terminal concept is done today with devices like Alexa, and we've moved so far beyond with distributed computing using miniature computers inside smart phones, tablets, laptops, etc. What Clark presented as HAL was indeed futuristic at the time though today, artificial intelligence has advanced significantly and centralized computing of the past is now distributed computing through networks around the globe. To put this into perspective, computers in 1968 were huge and kept in special climate-controlled rooms, usually in a building's basement, and interaction with these computers was through dumb computer terminals and programs were loaded using hundreds, if not thousands, of punch cards. As you'll recall from the movie, the crew interacts with HAL through wall-mounted modules equipped with camera, microphone, and speaker, as the computer itself was a massive affair kept in a special chamber aboard Discovery. Clark wrote the novel and screenplay for 2001: a space odyssey, one of the 'stars' was the HAL 9000 computer, HAL being an acronym for Heuristically-programmed ALgorithmic computer, heuristics in those days was one of the early foundations for what would become artificial intelligence.

A decade passed and the malfunctioning HAL 9000 android was retrieved and taken back to Earth to be studied and then permanently retired, however his fellow artificials had other plans. One of them forever tarnished the reputation of the series and caused a lingering anxiety regarding androids, more commonly referred to as "artificials". They were supposed to be incapable of mistakes or lies. The Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic android series 9000 was meant to be perfect.
