EDF 1005 Reflection 6

The invention of writing was very crucial to the establishment of the world’s great ancient civilizations. It was another way to keep their ancestors, stories and history alive. First, was cuneiform which is a type of picture writing. It was a way for them to communicate and some people say that writing was first invented to keep track of beer. But they decided to say that it was just a part of it. Before cuneiform they tried to invent writing about three other times before. And it never stuck people just gave up. Writing was a huge part of the change that has happened. It was used to keep track of products and agriculture. It was great to have this because if you had to go to war or something you could leave a letter or something in writing to a love one to keep you in memory. It can be for them to have a token for them to remember you. You could keep a written track of what you own or what you have traded. Many people used it to write in caves. They would write stories, wise quotes and even traditions that had happened. One thing that was great was that they wrote their pharos names and through that we have been able to understand history all the back then. The written time of information has been the most valuable kind of information. Because archeologists don’t have to make assumptions and can have the straight facts. That is great to the fact that people don’t make mistakes. For instance, if an archeologist found a certain tablet they would not have to guess what it was for because it would be written on the tablet. In the other hand if they found a skull they would have to gather other facts and guess what is for. And there is always space for error when that happens. Writing has solved many problems for many things. Now in time there is no her said she said in court. You can simple write the arrangement that was made. That way when you ever have to go to court you will have everything clear. If it is the paper signed by both parties you can see what needed to be done. And which ever party does not keep the arrangement then you have proof to defend yourself and not be held responsible. Writing has helped people from the start of time to the present time. It keeps many things in line and organized in the way it needs to be.
