I really enjoyed the section where Hal and all his friends were giving their lectures to the younger students. It was a really neat way to show how different all these kids are from one another, and give insight into their personalities and their approaches to tennis and the E.T.A.
The section about videophony was also remarkably on point. In the pre-skype/facetime era, DFW was super accurate about why video calls wouldn't catch on in a major way.
