Would the world be a better place today if the internet was older?
Think about what it would be like if the Romans had YouTube channels and we could see their political ideas from way back then whenever we wanted to..
I think that history is bound to repeat itself but once we go through the second loop and its all documented online and available to the public (no more "winner writes the history" as opposing sides have access to sharing information) we will continue to keep building and learn from our mistakes unlike before
