Yesterday's high tech becomes today's "retro."We sometimes forget how revolutionary the effects of technological change can be.
High tech from the past is ignored as obsolete. Even more telling, few are aware of just how great an impact today's high tech can have on the outcome of past events.
Take the Cell Phone.
How many understand just how important this technology we now take for granted was in shaping Union victories in the Civil War?
Take some Time Travel, with apologies to Mark Twain:
Scouting the Civil War with Cell Phones
The day Ambrose Burnside "Drove Old Dixie Down:"
Four forgotten hours help shape the world
The day Ambrose Burnside "Drove Old Dixie Down:"
