The impact of record-keeping on the course of history cannot be overstated.
For example, the act of preserving Judaism and Christianity in written form
enabled both to outlive the plethora of other contemporary religions, which
were preserved only orally. William the Conqueror’s *Domesday Book*,
compiled in 1086, was still being used to settle land disputes as late as
the 1960s. Today there is a new system of digital record-keeping. Its
impact could be equally large. It is called the blockchain.
