The Writing of History

We live in a world where we are surrounded by information. The knowledge that is available in this world is available to us readily, in a useable form, and timely. Information is available to us in more books than we can read, in more online databases that we can count, and in highly powerful and efficient search engines than we could have ever imagined. However, knowledge was not always passed down through print as we do today.
