What is fascinating is how every time the system of data storage changes throughout history, there is a revolutionary leap in technology. Primitive societies used human memory, after that, writing on stone plates helped create the first organized societies, another leap came with the use of papyrus as a medium of data storage which helped create the first great organized civilizations. The next leap was caused by printing which made knowledge widespread and started the first human attempt to globalize knowledge. Then data became digital, then came the internet, now the blockchain... The timespan between each leap becomes shorter and shorter while knowledge becomes ever so widespread and compressed.
