The Mandella Effect aside, which is a whole different can of noodles, imagine if at this present moment, we could look back 100 years and know precisely what sort of things people were doing, thinking, saying, and believing at any given moment in time?

Assuming we're not all going to be vaporized by fiery balls of pretty lights, thus eliminating the possibility of future generations, it is/should be the collective hope of all humanity, particularly those with children and grandchildren, that the future be bright and better than it is today.
