 The flip side of this is potentially even more fascinating:

Now imagine that you can go back to 2020s social media and interact with people *as if its actually 2020 and you are living through the experience live!*

Imagine interacting with the different arguments, the fear, the unfolding events. It would be like civil war reenactment on an utterly insane new level. 

You could literally *experience* history not as a film or a story, but as a permanent environment that attempts to encompass the entire human experience, the ideas, and the social conflicts of the time period.
