Professor Bates delivers an arousing talk about the potential implications that developing forms of historical documentation may have on society. His surprising supposition posits whether or not technological innovation may inevitably hinder our ability to reference the past.

Christopher Bates is one of the most popular lecturers in the Department of History at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. His research focuses on the place of the Civil War in American culture, and he is currently at work on a study of Civil War re-enactors entitled "What they Fight For: The Men and Women of Civil War Reenactment."
