How technology can preserve the history of a nation?
Whether history was bad or good, that information needs to be preserved. I remember visting places like Goree Island in Senegal or now in SA where things were terrible. I visited a place in cape town that was a former prison during the late 1900's and you cannot imagine how freaky things were. You guys cannot even understand the impact of what really happened if you have not visited such places. I hope someone out there in KE is going to build the next project on kenyan history and make this information a part of the national archives, including the infamous chambers at nyayo house and the rest. The future generations need to understand why it is important never to go back to such days. Germany has been trying for many years to wipe its record of the WW2 times and newer generations want to dis-associate themselves from such things. When I travelled to Munich a few year back, I got a chance to see the Dacau camp, the tower bells and the rest. The preserved documentation and the writing on the walls by prisoners provided an horrific insight into what took place. Me amatuer thots. Post soon. Rgds.
