How Ferment in English Middle Ages gave rise to Google Search

Postcards From Nowhere with Utsav Mamoria

In this episode, we go back to a time when Science was considered blasphemy, reading was synonymous to reading the scriptures, and a University meant a religious guild, and trace the history of a reference system so simple, yet monumental: the index.

We discuss how we could all benefit from having an index of our lives—important memories and learnings—in our head.
