Today I decided to install in my computer The Complete National Geographic, a program that contains 6 CDs with every issue of the National Geographic: from October 1888 to December 2008. 120 years of discoveries and knowledge. It is surprising how much have we changed in 120 years. Back then, the magazine had no advertisements, and no pictures. The magazine also talked about very different topics of the ones you may find today. The first article talked about how the magazine was originally intended to ''increase and diffuse geographic knowledge''. Today the magazine is not only about Geography, but also has History,Biology,Environmentalism,Pre-history,Economy,Geology,Astronomy and other topics related to Natural History. Today the National Geographic has become one of the most recognized and important non-profit scientific and educational institution in the world.
