The Historiography of Technology
Abstract
Identity is who we are, the way we think about ourselves, the way we are viewed by the world, and the characteristics that define us. Tradition is the handing down of the information, beliefs, and customs that define our identity from one generation to another. History, the systematic study of how our identity and traditions have evolved through events and evidence from the past, helps us satisfy the very human need to understand where we came from and why things are the way they are today. Historiography is concerned with how history is studied and written.
