On The Importance Of Being Historical

Tonight Jim and Jamie will tell us about their recent trip to a French-Indian War Re-enactment.

Later on I will join them in a discussion of History, and the fact that as technologically advanced as we are in the 21st Century, we stand to lose our History. The very technology which allows us to communicate over the globe is our worst enemy historically speaking. For information is only as good as the ability to read it. if you don't have a drive in the format of your information, the information is lost.

Contrast this for the written word; it is still possible to decifer in its original old English the text of "Beowulf", some 500 years later.
