watching time pass via tv show

Not what you’re thinking of, but true crime shows REALLY bring the relentless advances of technology into high contrast.

Sometimes, episodes might cover decades of time, and the reenactments or discussions of tech make things quite obvious.

I suppose Cold Case type shows do that as well. But, that's kinda expected. We know that 60 years ago, they didn't have a bunch of things we have now. But, when you watch something from, say, 2005 (yeah, I realize that's 20 years ago now) and realize that there's no smart phones, no wifi in a lot of places, that sort of thing, it tends to hit me more.

Then again, realizing that 25 years ago, I got married and I got a digital phone for a wedding present and that was the new tech at the time, and wow I feel so freaking old.
