The importance of history seems to sometimes go over our heads as we as a species forget the past that has made our present. With history, as many say all things are connected. Some in a sequential line, other in a web, but all things are nonetheless, related in some way or the other.

For example, one great reason why Egypt prospered was because of its great water supply, The Nile river which stretches 2,000 miles through Egypt taught us that starting a civilization near a body of water was a genius thing to do. Egypt also started the idea of domesticating animals to further benefit humans. They established the criteria for domesticating animals and followed it as such.

Egypt also set great examples for future dynasties and monarchies of the world when they not only appointed a king for their new dynasty, but they also used this king to unite upper and lower Egypt. Unification of countries will be important to countries of the future as well such as Bismarck’s quest to unite Germany that succeeded but directly and indirectly lead to many wars including war world one.

Both sides were worried about the balance of power when it came to that weaponry just as the countries Europe did during the time of absolute monarchies.

The Age of Information is also known as the digital age. It is called as such because information is known to us a a society as important thus we have made it easily accessible. With the click of a couple keys anyone can find out what’s happening on the other side of the world. Information can be transferred easilly and the mere simplicity of sharing information had made the age we live in what is.

Through all of history and it’s connections we see minor coincidences, direct and indirect causes, and most importantly we see lessons to follow in the future.
