Evolution of Writing Communication

Written communication started as far back as 200,000 BC with pictorial writings on cave walls and has evolved dramatically since. It has been adopted and changed for thousands of years simplifying its function more every time. When alphabets began to appear there was no specific organization. Over the centuries, different cultures developed mathematical ways of portraying written communication, even establishing 'rules' for writing and reading. Phoenicians invented a 22 simple alphabet system of signs. The direction in which to read was established by the Greeks. Celtic books began to use spacing in between words and and illustrations with word text for those who were illiterate. Written communication has a major impact even still today. And to think I used to hate to read. Written enables people to communicate in a vast way. It allows use to say something important to hundreds, even thousands, of people without vocally saying a single word.
