Let's not start as blank as this chart - Let's add up to our knowledge bank and understand where are we coming from?
Our learnings remain incomplete if we skip the lessons from history. Human organic intelligence benefits a great deal from learning the facts and details of past events, visuals from art etc. Not only our understanding of the current day evolution stage strengthens, but our recognition of patterns also improves greatly. We can then see the cause effect relationship of any event and perhaps use the knowledge to repeat or not repeat a particular action.
Museums and archivists, conservators, records managers along with history writers do a rather splendid contribution to mankind – Introducing us to the history that existed years ago – Facts, stories, texts, photographs all make up a wonderful dataset for us to learn from our previous crusaders in any domain. This will also help us to formulate the future decision-making frameworks and develop effective solutions thereon.
I would advise every learner to try to explore more and more about the historical evolution of their study domain or fields that are of interest to them to gain much better insights.
My personal experience has taught me 3 important things:
1. I am in awe of how much advanced the eras before the current millennium have been (compared to what I thought earlier)! 2. I recognized pre-world war and post-world war speed of development of technology (at the peak of war, innovations are implemented so quickly than the regular day implementation time of a technology) 3. Our ancestors were far more diligent and resourceful in the non-internet era with way lesser information available than is today and this came from the very strong focused sincere work ethic they had with almost no distractions.
Happy exploring the world in reverse timeline!
I have always wanted to learn more about transportation, ancient libraries, books, civil engineering, evolution of cities and I recently started collecting photographs in my 🙂 Instagram (vintage_drive_reads) 🙂 and recently, made the page public upon insistence from my students.
