Comment Changing the way history is seen (Score 1) 382
The Net could very well be a change in the way history can be reviewed in the future.
Imagine your in High School and the teacher is talking about the WTC attacks of 2001. When I was in school you could get a few books on history but not real life accounts of things.
I would love to be able to move back in time on the net and really read what people were saying and doing during the historic events. Take the plague, you could read peoples accounts of the death of loved ones, or the pain of there own disease. Sounds macabre but it would really bring the issue to life. That's where it should be studied, at the moment it happens. Not after it's been cut, chewed, and spit up into little bite sized pieces.
Of course our current Net does not work this way. This time next year all of those pages will be removed because of space issues and will be replaced with the current world problems.
Sad really.
