Don't our traditional forms of information communication, notably "the book" and especially "the textbook" contribute to our belief in linear history? 

I believe that our traditional forms of communication like the book and textbook contribute to our theory of linear history for many reasons. Books, especially textbooks and research books, speak about events that happened in the past but for the most part, do not relate the events to each other, like the theory of linear history.  There are also many linear time lines in history textbooks based on events that had occurred.  We can learn and record events that have happened on a linear timeline and it helps us understand the material that we are reading in the textbook. Books of all sorts teach us about the linear history of whatever subject that book is on. It talks about the events that have occurred in or because of that idea or subject. It teaches us more about that subject, and using a linear timeline, we can easily see what event happened and if that even lead to another even to happen in the future. Linear history is in the form of a timeline and show events that have happened in the past from the date at which they occurred. It does not tell you that an event happened because of a different event that happened before it, but looking at events that have occurred can help you decide whether events in the past do lead to major events happening in the present time and future. Because of the knowledge that we have on linear history, we can agree that our forms of communications like the book and textbook do contribute to linear history.
