It is a nagging feeling I have that in the lack of understanding of
cause and effect lies a lot of what is wrong everywhere, especially
in countries that do not seem to be able ever to get out of the
"subdesarrollo" (underdevelopment) - and also help us to avoid debt
...<br>
<br>
I see History and Science as venues where cause and effect can be
learned, understood, and hopefully become part of what people are
empowered with.<br>
<br>
Interactive History can make that subject be useful, beyond the
traditional memorizing of dates and events, and actually start
reflections of the "what if?" type<br>
