THE EVOLUTION OF WRITING
Early Communication: Initially, humans used
drawings to convey ideas before the use of words.
Pictographic Writing: Ideas and objects were
represented through drawings, making reading easy
but writing difficult.
Alphabets and Sounds: Written language evolved with
alphabets based on sounds, simplifying communication.
Counting Systems: The development of numerical
systems also has a rich history alongside written
language.
