But live television, usually reserved for news, sporting events, and a single Saturday night-airing sketch comedy show, retains its capacity to capture true-life drama as it unfolds in real time. And those images become unforgettable moments in modern history.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who originally said those who don't learn from history?
As much as we would love to live in an ideal world where everyone learns from history, there is nothing more valuable than learning from our mistakes.
The best way to learn how to do something correctly is to actually experience it.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.
As long as you keep making improvements, you'll eventually understand why you made those changes.
You might find out that it was easier than you thought.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. It means you've learned a lot.
It may not always be possible to avoid making errors, but it is possible minimize them. And that's the difference between success and failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. These are opportunities to learn.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed many other times before he inventing the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he took each failure as an opportunity and improved his design.
He also invented the most widely used form of lighting, which is still in use today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Take advantage of them.
Then, try again.
Are we able to learn from past mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We do not learn from our failures. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
History repeats itself because we believe the same old stories. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. That we cannot do anything to affect them.
This prevents us thinking critically. To question authority. Questioning authority. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. We repeat the same mistakes when we stagnate.
Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. History repeats itself because we refuse to learn from our mistakes and instead continue to make the same ones over and over.
Change your perception of the world and yourself to stop the cycle. Everything is subject to constant flux. All things are in constant flux.
Uncertainty is key to breaking the cycle. Accept that things might go wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. Accept that failure may be possible.
Accept that your goals may not be achieved. Accept that you may not achieve your goals. However, it is important to keep working towards improving.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. You can't move forward if your beliefs are fixed.
You must let go if you want to be free. If you want to progress, you have to give up control.
What is the most important thing to learn in history?
There isn't an easy answer to this question. Learning can be viewed in three ways. First, knowledge is power. Second, it is important to recognize that knowledge is cumulative. We must also be able to appreciate the speed at which knowledge can change.
Knowledge is power. It empowers us to make better choices and improve our lives. We wouldn't have any problems making decisions if we had perfect information. We would always do exactly what we wanted without worrying about whether it was right or wrong.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. As we get smarter, our brains become more sophisticated. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's move on to the next point. Knowledge is not static. Information is constantly changing. Every day scientists discover new facts, theories, ways of thinking. Discoveries are made all the time.
Technology is a key component of our culture. It allows us to instantly access information. Technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in digital form and share it among millions of people worldwide.
Globalization has transformed the way we see technology and knowledge. Globalization refers the process whereby ideas and products are spread across borders. Knowledge is now available everywhere because of globalization.
Internet access allows anyone to find information from any part of the world. Anyone can read books, watch movies, listen to music, play video games, and surf the web. All of these activities require knowledge.
Although knowledge is becoming easier to access, it is also becoming more specific. If you search online for advice on health, finance or business, you will find hundreds of thousands of sites offering information about topics such as cooking, travel, sport, or business. These sites provide information on virtually every topic imaginable.
If you want to buy a car online, however, you will likely only find a few dozen websites that provide automotive-related services. There will not be thousands of sites that cover every subject. You'll only find a handful of sites that specialize in cars.
Experts in particular fields have the ability to share and create value. This is why experts in these areas are so popular. Experts often have deep knowledge of a field. Experts are also skilled at producing content that is relevant to their target audience.
Because consumers don't need to scroll through endless amounts of information, they can focus on a specific niche. Instead, they can concentrate on a few sites that have lots of useful content.
Experts also benefit from specialization because they can build strong businesses around their expertise. A person buys a book because he expects that the author is knowledgeable enough about his topic to be able to give a concise and clear explanation. He wants to know that the author has understood his message.
If an expert does not specialize, he risks losing out on potential customers who expect him to be knowledgeable.
There are many areas of expertise. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. A specialist could be an accountant. However, we are likely to be parents, spouses, friends and fans.
Experts agree that it is impossible to succeed in one area without being skilled in another.
How can you become an expert in multiple fields? The answer is simple: practice. It's necessary to work hard to learn. As you make progress, you must keep going until you are recognized as an expert.
Nowadays, there are entire industries devoted to helping others achieve this goal. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.
What are three things you can learn from history?
There are plenty of examples from history that show how we can learn lessons from our mistakes. These lessons can be applied today to business problems and used as opportunities for growth.
The past teaches us that there is always another way to do things. There are always people out there who think outside the box and take risks that make them stand out.
History has shown us that often it is the underdogs that succeed. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost, think back to the times when they won.
You can learn from the past, and bring those lessons into the future. Learn from others' successes and failures.
These lessons will help you increase your success rate.

How To
What can humanity learn about the past failures of our ancestors and how can they be improved?
We've been to this place before and will likely return. But there's nothing wrong with learning from history. It may even help humanity survive another crisis.
It's possible to survive if we remain open-minded and continue to learn from our mistakes.
Problem is when we don't learn from the mistakes of the past and deny that the human nature hasn’t changed much since the beginning.
Although there is a lot to be learned from the old ways, we often ignore them as they are inconsistent with our beliefs. So instead of embracing changes, we find difficult, we cling to the familiar.
The world is constantly changing and our way of living together changes. Our environment is becoming more complex. We have more problems.
That means we have to adapt. This makes us more susceptible to failure, as we won't have the same strategies that worked previously.
When we do that, we lose sight of our values and become slaves to our habits.
Our brains evolved to adapt and cope with conditions that existed thousands upon thousands of year ago. But these days aren't over.
The future isn’t certain. There is always room for improvement.
Humans are still capable of great feats. Amazing technologies can be created. To explore unknown frontiers.
Yet, we tend to limit our abilities. To fear change. To reject evolution. To believe that the same thing that worked yesterday will work tomorrow.
Some people attempt to stop this trend. They view themselves as soldiers against the status. Fighting against the system. Against the system.
They see themselves as rebels who love to defy convention. They challenge the conventions of society.
They rebel against rules and regulations. They are against conformity. They don't care much about social expectations. They think they know better than everyone else.
To them, I say "Good Luck!"
It will be your lifeline!
Because it's a tough battle. The forces driving mainstream society are strong.
There are many places on the planet where the majority is not interested in you speaking. There is no interest in your point of view.
It doesn't really matter how brilliant or well-intentioned you might be. Your ideas might not be accepted by the majority.
Your message might not reach the right people. That's why you might need some history lessons.
This is where the true power lies. This is where you truly can make a difference.
This is where others can be inspired to achieve their goals. This is where you can create movements that transform society.
Let me ask: Are you willing to live up to the expectations of others? Or would you prefer to set your own course?
