Computers, Visualization, and History: How New Technology Will Transform Our Understanding of the Past by David J. Staley. M.E. Sharpe. 2002. 174 pages. Paperback. $22.95.

Historian and futurist Staley discusses visualization technologies' transformation of our understanding of history.

As imaging technology becomes more sophisticated and easier to manipulate, historians will increasingly turn to these new tools and environments to construct narratives. Could this be ethe end to prose? Staley argues that the visual language of the computer will have a profound effect on the spread of literacy and radically alter the way people process information.
