As I was reading chapter seven by Popkin I came across the theme of this chapter regarding the change of history in the new millennium. Technology was great innovation for mankind it changed many aspects of life for many people. We have become so attached to our technology and cannot live without them especially with the internet. The internet has changed not only a way a life but also how history has been changing due to the new innovations. Popkin mentions how the internet gives a new way to communicate historical knowledge across the globe (Popkin, 170). Historians are now able to communicate with their colleagues faster now that they can email each other instant (Popkin, 171). This important because the way I learned history was not just by reading and looking through book but learning most of my history from the internet. I found it interesting when Popkin mentions how not only did the internet affect the way the historical communication changes but also how along the way the we will teach about history will also change. This topic is interesting to me because I want to be a history teacher and most of the ideas brought by him were true in my opinion. The internet is very valuable especially with coming up with ideas for creating lesson plans and new was to show the students something such as virtual museums and movies. @armando35<\/a> mentions \u201cTechnology in general has allowed almost anyone to be involved with the study of history because it isn\u2019t solely confined to books, journals, or even schools; there are many new mediums in which history can be accessed,\u201d which I can agree with especially with the new generation of historians who grew up learning history from different mediums that were not books. Technology advancement has in my opinion increased the study of history to many people and the new innovations coming in the future will keep changing the way history is communicated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
