I enjoyed the focus of "the past" in the beginning of the article. "the past" is history and for a long time was passed on through word of mouth. Ways of life and past events were all memorized and exchanged from person to person by good old fashion speech. But as time went on evolution took over and the exchange of information was now becoming more and more efficient. Paper was the first great step in this evolution and gradually worked its way up to things like email. During the reading of this article I had two main things that stuck in my mind. I was wondering which ways of this exchange of info will stick around or diminish. In addition, I was wondering what new ideas will come around.
Over the time things like the type writer have come and gone. It seems that over time there will always be a new advanced way of communicating that will cause a previous option to never be chosen again. Yet with that being said I do find it very amazing and interesting that the first option for information exchange is still around to this day. Even with instant messaging and txt messaging paper still is very important and used often. Paper in the end will always be the most reliable and convenient option no matter how technologically advanced we become.
New ideas always arise somewhere and in some form. Eve when we believe there is nothing else possible that could be made, a new device comes out to the public. Our progression of exchanging information is always evolving everyday. I am excited to see what will happen next. It may seem like there can be nothing else to invent but starting from the early caveman this information exchange evolution has not stopped and will never stop.
