...not much of anything. But researchers have re-created an audio tape of the earliest known recording by mankind. Read the story and listen to the recording in this morning's New York Times. Kind of amazing to hear a voice from before the Civil War! Imagine if visual and aural media existed thousands of years ago...you could listen to the actual voice of Alexander the Great or Jesus. Today of course we are leaving behind such a huge record of who we are that the tough part for researchers thousands of years from now will be figuring out what's worth listening to...Let's see, this one is marked "Little Jimmy's 3rd Birthday" and that one "the Monica Lewinsky Impeachment hearings"...
