Linking Past and Present We live in the 21 st century in a fast changing world, the world of new ideas and new technologies, but we shouldn’t forget that our present life has been prepared by everything that has happened on our planet so far. The long history of mankind is not a set of books on your bookshelf or a string of half-remembered events of the past. Our history is what we are now. It explains things to us and warns us about the future because – as the saying goes – history repeats itself. Every minute of our life is history in the making. Today’s events can soon enter history books. You can say every person lives in the past, present and future.
