...with electronic communication, what one writes in a moment, eternity will not erase.

About This Quote

When people are writing about an event that happened long ago, they are writing about it as it happened. However, when people are writing about things that happen today, they are writing about them as they happened. The history of mankind is being recorded by electronic communication. When people write to each other for the first time, these electronic records will be read by future generations. And, if these human beings are unfortunate enough to be the ones who wrote down the information, then they will be reading it for eternity.
