Modern Twilight Zone
You’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of Instagram and Spotify but of Wikipedia. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of your WiFi signal.
The Twitter feed Modern Twilight Zone offers a splendid glimpse into a world where The Twilight Zone is still being produced and the storylines take advantage of current technology.
Some episodes are technology-dependent:

Others would work just as well as old-style episodes:

Lots of other users have joined the party, offering suggestions of their own:

Some of the synopses are just wonderful and make me melancholy that the episodes don’t really exist. A browse through the feed is a fun, mildly creepy, way to spend an afternoon.
