Rod Sterling (and the other writers) introduced several gifts/abilities in this season such as to be one to see the future and perfectly mimic other people and this was the first that I really wouldn't want to have as there is no way I'll be off to look at someone with that kind of knowledge.
As this was aired only six years after the Korean War had come to an end, it probably meant a lot more to audiences then than now and is one that really can be updated and set in either Iraq or Afghanistan.
