How does history affect daily life?

All of history is connected from the days you celebrate, the clothing you wear, the sports you play and watch, the food you eat, and the technology you use. Everything has a foundation in history. I imagine you have a cell phone with you, but the cell phone was first thought about in 1930 because of police radiOS. It was finally invented by Dr. Martin Cooper in 1974. And sold to the public in 1984. Everyday history is created or made. What you do today is history tomorrow. Understanding history helps us understand ourselves and hopefully prevent us from making the some of the same mistakes.
