* TechnologyMarchesOn: The show started off with beepers and accordion envelopes. Cell phones are rare enough in early seasons that it's not considered unusual for senior staffers like Josh to not carry one (Donna has to hand him hers if someone tries to reach him out of the office). By the fourth season everyone has a cell phone and... well the accordion envelopes were still there, just with computers on top of that, too. In later seasons, people start being glued to Blackberries, then at the height of their popularity (before being pushed out by Apple and Google).

** Several times on the show, a news story is about to break, and a character will report that it has already been published on the internet. This implies that it will be reported by traditional media sooner, and that the internet outlets themselves don't matter and are only relevant indirectly through their impact on traditional media outlets. This seems rather strange in times where many or most people get their news mainly from the internet.

* BillingDisplacement: Cast members are always placed in alphabetical order in the opening credits, regardless of when they joined the main cast, with the exceptions of Rob Lowe going first (seasons 1-4), Moira Kelly going second (season 1), Martin Sheen going last with an "and" credit, and Jimmy Smits going second to last with a "with" credit (seasons 6-7). This means that John Spencer, Richard Schiff, and Bradley Whitford, three of the most central actors on the show, are always billed last. This was especially prevalent in the final season, where Whitford's Josh Lyman was arguably the main character. The likes of Alan Alda, Kristin Chenoweth, Mary McCormack, and Joshua Malina, all of whom joined the main cast in the second half of the show, are all billed before Whitford (and Schiff and Spencer).
