History was once rewritten by the victors. Now we write our own immutable histories with every email, text, and post.

About This Quote

When history is rewritten by the victors, they are the ones writing the history. They are the ones writing the immutable histories with every email, text, and post. This quote is saying that in times past, if one group won a war they would write their own history to fit with what they had done during war, but now we have this new age of technology where we can all write our own histories. We have the power to rewrite history.
