History Channel

so 3:30 this morning we are watching a Biography of Rebert E Lee on the history channel while sipping coffee and the narration consists of reading of letters between Lee and his wife Mary.....real good stuff, insightful, witty , emotional.....150 years later you still get a feel for what was happening on those battlefields from a factual historical standpoint and also from a personal point of view........suddenly I was saddened by the realiztion that this type of Biography will soon be extinct, 150 years from now when "They" look back on this generation and try to retell our tales and gain insight to our emotions, there will be little to review and decipher, nobody writes letters anymore...all we will have to show for ourselves is abbreviated texts in cyber space............OH, and Of Course this BLOG...
