Development in electronic science have transformed the art of record keeping in the modern age. Traditionally, records of events were kept only in people's mind. It depended very much on the relative power of the human memory. This was extremely dangerous as people either forgot events wholly or in part, or deliberately falsified details to suit their various interests. Interminable arguments were thus the order of the day. Even writing which replaced mental recording was not entirely free from these shortcomings as untruth could be written as true records either willingly or inadvertently. With the advent of the electronic memory, however, these dangers have been largely overcome. Recording on audio and video cassettes now show not only what happened, but also who did said what including how and when.
