** In the very first book, Susan recommends going to the library and listening to a certain song on a record. A ''vinyl record''. Even when it came out this was odd, since, by 1989 [=CDs=] had been the dominant format for years, but in the age of Youtube, this comes off as ''super'' dated. Ironically, vinyls have made a comeback in UsefulNotes/TheNewTens.
** The video game, which was made in TheNineties, features people wearing baseball caps backwards (A common fashion trend then) and a bully with a long-sleeved shirt tied around his waist. And the internet page is ''VERY'' nineties -- heck, the characters use a browser that looks like Internet Explorer!
** The video game also features Duncan asking the janitor if there are any tools that can be used as a weapon. Today, this would ''NOT'' be acceptable to put in a computer game! FunnyForeigner janitor or not, Duncan would be sent ''right'' to the principal's office at the very ''least''.

** The URAT that Peter is given truly is a technical marvel. Imagine a device that fits in your hand which can be used as a video communicator, can look up any information, can give you directions, and can even be used to order merchandise to be delivered! In short, it is a smartphone. The only feature of the URAT that modern smartphones ''don't'' have yet is accurate real-time translation of arbitrary languages -- and we needed all those words because translator apps ''do'' exist, they just still have a tendency towards TranslationTrainWreck.
