Trivia / My Teacher Is an Alien

• Keep Circulating the Tapes: Due to the creator being defunct, it's very difficult to find a copy of the video game nowadays.
• Technology Marches On:
  • 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 Translation Train Wreck.
  • The video game features some rather dated looking computers. Susan asking for the password to the internet still works in a way, though — today this is the equivalent of asking for the wi-fi password.
