Line 682:
* The Carousel of Progress in [[Disney Theme Parks|Walt Disney World]] essentially has Tech Marches On as its plot, and it's used as a source of humor in the scenes that take place in the past.
=== Other Media ===
* [http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=10506 What Was Popular Mechanics Thinking?]
* A particularly bizarre example comes from the pages of ''PC Zone'' when DVDs were just coming out. The columnist 'Mr. Cursor' maintained that if audio compact discs ended up being called 'CDs' for short, the 'Digital Video Disc' would inevitably become known as... the 'VD'. Given that 'Mr. Cursor' could alternate between [[Deadpan Snarker]] and [[Cloudcuckoolander]] several times ''in the space of one page'' (a trait shared by most of ''PC Zone's'' staff in [[Golden Age|those days]]), it's hard to tell if he was actually joking. Of course, VDs are now more commonly referred to as STDs, making that example doubly dated.
