Technology and the Past

Thanks to the miracle of modern technology everyone is now getting a peak into the past. According to a recent article on CNET everyone that has access to the internet also has access to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the last century, the Dead Sea Scrolls. This single project shows how technology can change the way that people interact with great discoveries like the Dead Sea Scrolls. While in the past access to this discovery was limited to a few carefully selected experts, now it's accessible to every expert, enthusiastic and casually interested person with an internet connection. In the future projects like this could allow a huge break through in academic research allowing researchers and experts to weigh in and share their expertise to a greater extent at less cost.
