ABSTRACT
One of the most valuable things reader can teach students is that history repeats itself. Consider World War I and World War II, the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, and the fall of the Greek and Roman Empires. Patterns are evident in the advancement of technology, with a new iPhone coming out each year, computers getting smaller and smarter, and self-driving cars becoming more commonplace. It is the study of these advances in technology that leads to further advancements. Authors are constantly trying to make things better. It is human nature. By studying changes over time, they are able to determine what they do not need anymore, what they need to continue to do, and what they need to add to improve something.
