write an essay in about 500 words on the topic: "does the information age mean we are losing important historical information?"

The answer to this might vary according to one's own perception and research work. Here are a few sample points for your reference:

- Advancement in technology helps people excavate and research better on our history

- Also, it has become easier to decipher different signs and languages

- However, technology might have curbed the insight with which people learnt history

- Technology is about making mistakes and discovering something new out of it while history teaches us not to repeat our mistakes

- Information technology has led to lack of interest in what remained in the past, with evergrowing interest in the future

Hope these help!
