* TechnologyMarchesOn: "Built Before Its Time?" showcases that various devices we use nowadays had their concepts applied many years ago, but modern technology has made them much more practical (such as on-board car navigation), while "Crazy WorldWarII Weapons" mentions that some of the devices the Allies tried to use as wonder weapons are being used today (such as helping deliver probes to Mars) or are still being researched (using stink bombs for riot use), but the tech base of the era made them utterly impractical. At the same time, "Where's My Hoverboard?" and "Superpower Tech" shows that devices exist that were totally in the realm of science fiction many years ago, but are still AwesomeButImpractical because of details like price range (i.e. the jetpack is estimated to cost a few hundred thousand dollars when it's initially put to mass manufacture in the next few years) or even ''safety'' (Grant's hoverboard can ''hurt'' the rider or ''anyone in the surrounding vicinity'' if improperly operated).

* TechnologyMarchesOn: A number of ''[=MythBusters=]'' myths were indirectly revisited in the series (most notably, the hoverboard and jet pack). While they are still not there yet, when these techs were revisited in White Rabbit Project, it is apparent that we have moved a long way than when they were first covered by Mythbusters. For example, the Hoverboard- while no ordinary person can build one still, Grant's hoverboard actually took flight with him on board. Jamie and Adam's crafts barely lifted off and are in actual fact just hovercrafts. Additionally, the Mythbusters' jetpack couldn't lift off- while Tory visited a jetpack designer who not only presented a live demo, but also promised that these jetpacks are in final testing stages and could be in the market in another year or two, albeit being quite expensive that only the rich can afford one for the time being.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: A number of ''[=MythBusters=]'' myths were indirectly revisited in the series (most notably, the hoverboard and jet pack) and this time, they got ''validated'' (in the parlance of ''[=MythBusters=]'', they would be rated as ''confirmed''). Much of these can be attributed to how technology has marched on since the early years of ''[=MythBusters=]'' and how ''[=MythBusters=]'' had neglected to follow up on those myths.
** Except neither really was validated/confirmed, because the concepts of both the hoverboard and the jet pack were both originally tested on ''[=MythBusters=]'' with the conceit that they are not only accessible to, but '''constructible by''' the ''average person''. The jet pack is still quite a ways away from being both reliable and affordable enough just to be purchasable, and while the parts for Grant's hoverboard device could be purchased for the same amount as an average car, it still doesn't mean that the average Joe can build it.
