No need to consult the past,

Sure there is, otherwise such wouldn't be mandatory requirement courses
found in institutions of higher learning. Indeed, there is a huge need
in which to consult the past among intellectuals. It's when one wishes
to argue history that self-confusion is born.

it exists now, and

will be the future...

How profound! If our society does not learn from history, many times we
are condemned to repeat the same mistakes.

we all

reflect the present state of society, and so

does our methods of

communications...

True for the modern mainstream methods of communications, not archaic
hobbies like CB or CW.

... this is why amateur radio is now being drug

into the 2nd millennium, we have just gotten

around to it...

Amateur radio isn't being "drug" anywhere. On the contrary, it's barely
surviving as a method of modern communications, with the sole exception
of certain disasters which occasionally carry it to the news. The
dropping of code is writing on the wall. The hobby is gasping for air
and on its last legs.
