Ghost in the Shell (manga)/Trivia

• Technology Marches On: While most of the original manga has aged surprisingly well, there are a few bits besides the Soviet Union still existing that remind you this was made in the late 80s/early 90s. The Etorufu storyline features records of illegal real estate deals being stored on half a dozen big ol' CD ROM disks; non-wireless connections are made using thick, industrial-looking cables and a lot of the computer equipment is big, boxy and covered in dials, switches and oscillographic displays.
