Writing

    Throughout the course of human history, unarguably one of the most important technological advancements ever designed has been the written language. Writing has allowed humans to spread their ideas globally, keep records of important historical data, as well as quickly advance the mind's capacity to learn. It is our ancestors explorations in writing that have led to the establishment of our political systems, education systems, and economic systems. Our ancestors have paved our path to not only learn and organize efficiently, but to continue innovating past ideas. With writing, humans have the ability to become a global community without boundaries. Communication through the written word is our vehicle, and we are the drivers. Understanding writing systems is the framework necessary to construct our vehicle, and determination as well as innovations are the necessary components for us to achieve greater feats via writing than we can even imagine.
