I think any current student should get a history book 

00:00:05.475 --> 00:00:09.495
on what happened with the development of the word processor 

00:00:09.495 --> 00:00:14.427
from Wordstar and Word Perfect up through what we have today. 

00:00:14.427 --> 00:00:23.152
Because it illustrates why format and portability is so important. 

00:00:23.152 --> 00:00:28.969
If you want to be able to see your thesis in its raw format in a decade, 

00:00:28.969 --> 00:00:34.089
you don’t want to write in Word, you don’t want to write in .docx, 

00:00:34.089 --> 00:00:38.132
and I think once a person realizes that, 

00:00:38.132 --> 00:00:42.000
they can start to explore the tools that work for them.
