Unintentional Period Piece was moved back to YMMV
Changed line(s) 19,22 (click to see context) from:
** The ''Beyond'' segment "Too Far" appears to be a satire on how far technology has come and how pervasive it is in our lives. However, the most advanced technology shown is a computer which tells the viewer "[[SpokenWordInMusic It is too late. You have gone too far]]". Plus, it focuses more on television than computers. This was 1992, back when most people didn't have internet access, and when "dumb" cell phones without cameras were getting ''smaller''.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** The ''Mind's Eye'' series was intended to showcase state-of-the-art computer graphics and animation. Most of these animations, with their clumsy appearance and occasional glitching, were rendered obsolete within a decade of their release. The series itself shows the astounding difference in quality of computer animation from the beginning of the decade to about the middle.
** Some of the art styles, the use of simple and colorful geometric shapes to depict various items including people is very indicative of the visuals used in media in the late ’80s-early ‘90s. This is particularly prominent in ''Beyond'', where the sequence “Too Far” features musicians composed entirely of building blocks.

** Most of the visuals showcased in this series became dated by the end of the century. This is mostly because computer-generated animations were in their infancy at the time; it only took a matter of a few years before the industry grew to the point that entire films were being made using computer graphics.
