"Because of technology and everyone's connectedness through technology, one, it is easier and less expensive than ever to make the world's historic records available for people online. But two, there's a larger base of our world population than ever that is now connected through this worldwide technology, and they're using it to socialize and communicate with each other."
Nick Eastman edits an online genealogical newsletter. He says there are about 10,000 genealogy sites online. He thinks people have always been interested in genealogy and their family history.
"The difference now is we've got tools to satisfy that interest, whether you're seated in your home or whether you have to go to a library someplace."
Once, genealogy was considered a pastime for older adults and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But people with other beliefs and younger adults are getting interested in finding out about their family heritage.
Nick Eastman says many people have a desire to find out about their ancestors. People from countries that have accepted many waves of immigrants appear to be especially interested in genealogy. Such countries include the United States, Canada, Argentina and Brazil. People from Western European countries also are interested in genealogy products and services. This means the market for such information may only increase over time.
The Model T Changed America
One hundred five years ago, Henry Ford introduced the Model "T" Sedan. It was first produced on October 1st, 1905. The Model "T" was not the first car ever made. But it was the first manufactured using an assembly line process. The assembly line permitted workers to be more productive, so that the Ford Motor Company could build more cars at a lower cost.
