Oral Personal History: Difference between revisions

It occurred to me the other day when I was reading about saving pictures and video to a DVD or your voice to a CD, that your recorded personal history can now be preserved forever. The CD or DVD or whatever method of preservation you use, will make it possible for your recording to be passed down throughout the generations. I don’t think it is outlandish to think that a 30th great grand child of yours living in the 30th Century could see and hear you.<br>It would be the same thing as listening to an ancestor of yours who lived in the 10th century. Wouldn’t it be exciting to listen to or see an ancestor talk about his life who lived in the year 1000 AD? They didn’t have the technology then, but we do. Let’s use it.
