I read Drawing on my (family) past, by David Warlick, and what this blog entry was about is that he is questioning how we might draw on our ancestor's livelihoods to bring value to our daily lives.  This matters to me because my ancestors may have been farmers that helped with the land.  This matters to education because to discover our family's ties to specific land and locales is critical to understanding our connection to ourselves and our society, and education benefits with our understanding of ourselves.   This matters to the world because I think that basically everyone's ancestors somewhere back were farmers, since land was vast and not being used.  Knowing our history, we can move on with our future.
