Watching the first couple of series of the West Wing from 1999-2001 and it already looks dated:
– what once looked like a manic tempo of corridor conversations is now standard or pedestrian compared to today’s offices – some social issues such as controversies around gay marriage seem WTF – the tech is comical. Mobiles are hardly ever used and monitors are massive (apart from black PowerBooks with upside down Apple logos) – the tight news agenda of “It’ll be in the papers tomorrow” has been blown apart by Twitter – they bask in economic growth
