The purpose for Primary sources in history is to give us first hand insights on the past. They are important tools for historians to develop an understanding of an event. By that, it helps us support those understandings with evidence as we answer questions about the past. Not only that, but arguments of the past as well.
The world of primary documents has evolved throughout the course of time itself. In the last two decades these documents have changes from newspapers/ magazines and radio to television and more electronic devices. Such as websites, blogs, social networks and social news.
Since technology is growing stronger by the day, we can all say this will have a major impact on the world. How? Well, we'll start to use our old resources less and begin to use podcasts and vodcasts more and more. This will make it easier for us to get information right there on the spot.
