Aren't those two questions asking the same thing? (I'm behind a firewall, so I can't access the slides.)

The big difference there isn't necessarily in the questions, but in the sets of things the questions are applied to.

It's still asking the same thing, so I'd say yes. But you might be asking it for different reasons ("am I interested in this historically or practically" vs. "is this innovative or canon?").

not really - there is a subtle difference
Aren't they both asking "What technology has been relevant for the past 5 years?" Maybe I just need an example that answers one question but not the other?
The answer to both questions would be the same. Although the way the question is phrased may get one to the answer faster or slower.
think of it as "peaks" of relevance
