I know some people dream of living in a simpler age, but I love living in the time we are now. There are so many things I get to learn about because of the internet, things I never would have heard of otherwise. And now, I can study the Dead Sea Scrolls myself. Not touch them- but very few people are actually allowed to touch them.
Israel and Google have partnered to put 5,000 of the Dead Sea Scrolls online. Imagine reading Deuteronomy off the Dead Sea Scrolls, or a first century BC version of Genesis. How cool is that.
