• Technology Marches On: several examples:
  • Alex hears a message from an old flame left on a landline answering machine. In 2024, most people would receive a voice mail on their cell phone, text message, or e-mail.
  • Todd claimed to be startled by a modem (with its then-infamous screeching sound) when he spilled chocolate milk on a temp worker's to-do list. In 2024, cable companies often offer Internet access, and their modems do not make noise.
  • Casey takes a 5 minute break because she is downloading logos. In 2024, such a task would take a few seconds.
