Who didn't love the 1980s? Because technology hadn't become ubiquitous with culture (or something like that), people were allowed to have imaginations about the future. These days predicting the future is totally analog, for instance, it seems to me that in the future bodies of water will just burst into flames and the monetary system will be replaced by bartering with fossil fuels. Regardless, it seemed so much simpler in the 1980s. Don't believe me? Check out the high-tech production values from these Phillies commercials from 1986:
