Catherine Julien's book "History of How the Spaniards Arrived in Peru" is a translated account initially written by Titu Cusi, the penultimate leader of the neo-Incan state. The text is impressive because it provides readers with the opportunity to learn more about the moment when the American continent was invaded as seen by Native Americans. Julien makes it possible for the masses to understand that the Incan civilization started to suffer significantly because of other reasons, as Spanish conquistadors were not the only factor causing this state to fall. Titu does not hesitate to emphasize the fact that his people suffered defeat at the hands of the Spanish. However, he also emphasizes that it is important for future generations to have a complex understanding of events surrounding the fall of the Incan Empire.

Communication is integrally linked to the tools commonly available in a given period of time. But humans are loath to completely eliminate tools that have been employed to communicate with one another, even when they become archaic—or because that. For example, ephemera from letterpress printers is cherished and collected like many antique items, but letterpresses are still employed by guerilla artists—and received with great enthusiasm by their contemporary admirers (Wayzgoose, 2011). Still it seems the key drivers for choices of communication mediums are convenience, speed, accuracy, and relevance. These determinants, however, do not stand still in time. Convenience, for instance, is a highly relative term that has much to say about the cultural context in which the communication takes place. Inescapably, the influence of technology is reflected in the evolution of each key driver to its temporal context.
