Quote from the film:
I don't know what to do about depression, inflation, the Russians, the crime in the streets. All I know is that first you've got to get mad!
Some things never change, it seems.

It's I guess interesting that the film was so anti-television of its time when, by both critics and audiences,
All in the Family
and
Mary Tyler Moore
were and still are considered great shows.

It's not only relevant today because of modern TV but also because of social media and the internet. People nowadays are more than happy to let a cell phone app like instagram dictate their reality to them.

At the time
Network
was made it was considered to be somewhat farcical. It may have been a satire of "modern" 1970's television, but as the decades have rolled by it's over-the-top satire has only become more realistic.
For instance, reality television was not really a thing at the time
Network
was originally released. Fast forward 25 years though and it's not only relevant, it's one of the most popular genres of television entertainment! As television has grown and expanded,
Network
has only become more relevant, it's themes more prevalent, and it's comedy more tragic.

which must mean "You ain't heard nothing yet!"
