Out of society since 1975 and landing in Times Square... that's gotta be like stepping out into an alien world.

We as the society can probably learn a lot from these people. A sort of live time capsules, you know, providing some "more stable" benchmarks for our life, habits, intents.
What's even scarier is imagine it happening to you now: out in 2050. Wouldn't be surprised if self-driving cars were the norm by then. Probably some crazy new world conflicts to deal with. No more Facebook or Google, a radical new internet. That is, assuming all of this fuss about prison reform nowadays doesn't lead to anything in 44 years.
