Writing and typing

From ancient times people wanted to communicate. In fact since people started to live in tribe they had to invent some kind of system that would allow them to communicate during hunting, fishing, etc. They had to talk somehow to survive and to provide food for the tribe. And then humanity invented language to exchange information.

One of the greatest inventions of humanity was the invention of language. The oral language allowed people to communicate with each other changing their thoughts, emotions, impressions, news, etc. First it was not rather developed system of sounds and gestures, but later it turned into the modern languages that present complicated system with certain range of rules.

Later humanity felt the necessity to fix the message somehow. It was connected with many factors from the necessity to deliver message privately at the distance to remembering facts and data. In such way the written language was invented and developed. The first forms of written language are extraordinary and rather interesting. They come from drawing and putting the pictures that substituted different letters.

So written language was developing and thanks to it nowadays we have the possibility to write down anything we want or need. Moreover humanity managed to keep the history written by chroniclers and to read the literary works written by ancient authors.

Written language developed so many forms that nowadays we have the possibility to write with the help of computers. It is very comfortable and looks better than incomprehensible handwriting.

There are so many objects people used for writing in ancient times. They used everything from branches and land to papyrus. They were using coal and paint invented from the natural resources of our planet until humanity managed to invent ink that is used till nowadays.

I think you will agree with me that the modern world will look at least strange without a pen or paper and of course without written language. This site is about everything that is connected with written language and the ways people developed it during centuries. That is why take your pen and write down the next...
