The invention of writting was I believe the most crucial invention of all time. Without writting mann wouldn't have made any progress. We wouldn't have that much difference between animals. When man invited life he invented time because then there was a past , present and a future.
Man created history when writting began. The reason why writting was invented in the acient civilizations was because man needed to keep track of grain. Man knew the valua of someone was indeed thier worth. Also by writting these things down they could be passed on to the next generations. Writting was one of the first learning tools if not the first. Civilizatins had things worth writting to teach. It was much more than word of mouth.
Needless to say that because of writting we were able to come up with many other inventions. If all these things werent documented there would no no such thing as bluepints, past events, we would just be wondering the earth aimlessle with no since of time no plan or goal for the future. No sense of urgency for today or tommorow because we have no referenc for yesterday. When I finally reach my feild of teaching as a teacher I will have read things that other people have written to teach my students the things that they will need in order to graduated. The most beautiful thing about writting is that once taught you have the power to write as well. These civilizations added organization and structure to the way they live by writting. The made documents and rules of which to live by and to have a successful society.
Those civilations were our foundation for today. Today we have banks to keeps documents on how much we make and how much we are worth. Also we realy on documents and records kept in hospitals to see what we are allergic to and what deseases we do and don't have. Schools hold our documents about how much education we have how many years have we attended school is our schooling paid for and have we graduated. Writting is an eccential tool that all humans need now in todays society to survive becuase without a peace of paper or plastic with your name or social security number in it you have no identity. You are just a life walking the earth aimlessly with no purpose.
