Now that history persists in just about as raw, unadulterated of a form as possible (archived print, video, audio) I would like to see pointed, in-depth analysis of those times in history that were truly inflection points - what did we get right and what did we get wrong? Pull directly from the opinion pieces and headlines from X number of years ago and look at it from a critical eye. People have such short term memory that it would be beneficial to revisit these things.

As well, I would like to see a comparison between a nation's media consumption, and their use of masks and lockdowns. There's a meme going around of why the Amish did not suffer as badly from COVID-19, and the punchline is that they don't have television.

  There was one meme that struck me as perfectly captioned. A circa 60s image of a person's arms throwing a TV out an upper story window, with the tag line "first step to fight coronavirus".
