Anthropologically, I do hope there is serious research into how the 4chan parts of the Internet seemed like an unseemly side thing most people wouldn't have to deal with but actually that was the future of society.
We're almost done watching the series The West Wing. While the prescience is astounding, the wistfulness of a time where the majority of people in power were trying to do the right thing, triggers tears. It wasn't just a façade - the benefit to Americans was palpable.
