Nothing is New

It's nothing new that we're all connected.  We drive cars and wear clothes made by people who live on the other side of the world.  Our food comes from all over.

But this is nothing new.  I'm reading Death Comes to the Archbishop by Willa Cather and it mentions that the Bishop woke to the sound of the Angelus bells.  These bells came from Spain. They were crafted by Spanish silversmiths who learned their trade from the Moors.  The bells were made to be sent to a church in Mexico and ended up in New Mexico.

The bell's inscription date was 1356!
