History and short term memory.

History and short term memory.
For the first several years after 9/11, every anniversary the 3 major networks, ABC/NBC/CBS and cable networks would simply replay the recorded events that day from the time of the first tower being hit, to the last crash and aftermath hours later as if it were live coverage. But now, while it is still mentioned, they don't give the real time/full time replay. 

It really is no different than Pearl Harbor. We still remember it, but every anniversary since, does not get the 24/7 coverage like it did after it first happened. 

And what will be remembered 100 years from now, 200 years from now?

How much time say, outside Oklahoma City, does media focus on that bombing? 

And even outside America, how many focus on the deaths of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

In 200 or 500 years, if humans don't kill ourselves off, how well will the Holocaust be remembered?
