That trippy, CyberGreen raining code in ''Film/TheMatrix'' that is constantly changing has pretty much become synonymous with high tech computing, VR environments, [=AIs=], and Robots. Originally, it represented the ever changing nature of the Matrix and the overwhelmingly complex incalculability of it all. So when Neo starts seeing things in Matrix-Text-O-Vision, it represents him seeing and being able to manipulate the underpinnings of reality. Nowadays, it's mostly used to convey "Look, high-tech computer with [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien arcane, indecipherably alien power and mentality]]!" or as a StockParody for ''The Matrix''.
"Traditionally", the Raining Code will be [[CyberGreen green-on-black]], flow from top to bottom, consist of normal letters and numbers with what looks like Japanese kana or other strange runes, and change text mid-fall. Newer adaptations will likely use a different color, direction for it to scroll, and text palette. Note that the original ''Matrix'' version used katakana characters and arabic numerals, mirror-flipped to obscure their shapes. The characters will generally leave 'ghosts' on the screen as they fall, reminiscent of old Apple II RGB monitors, symbolizing the GhostInTheMachine, of course.
