Real or Not?

      In the digital world, there is a fine line between reality and non-reality. Technology gives a lot of hope and possibilities in life but there is a dark side to it- like most things. The dark side is, who gets to have access to it and what ways do they use it?  The digital world itself has revolutionized  the way we work, socialize, learn and experience the world.

This blog was created by a researcher of history, specializing in the 19th century named Geerte. I really enjoyed going through this blog because I find this specific century in history to be fascinating. Some blog posts on this blog were "The history of schooling in Victorian Britain" and The mysterious case of the Foxborough bike racks."                                                         http://devilinspiredvictorianclohting.blogspot.com/
