Many historical threads have come together to create the data-powered world we live in today. In this very first episode of Keyboard and Quill, journey through 45,000 years of history with Tim Berglund and Rachel Pedreschi as they begin to pull on those threads. They’ll explore how our modes of communication have evolved over time–from cave paintings to cuneiform to the printing press–and how technology has driven the relentless acceleration of our pace of life.  New episodes every Tuesday from March 12-June 4.

Keyboard and Quill is created and made possible by StarTree, hosts of the Real-Time Analytics Summit for data professionals. Get 30% off registration.
