Writing is a technology that has
changed the world in ways that perhaps no other technology has or will
be able to ever. The advent of recording information through writing
revolutionized technological advancement to an unbelievable degree.
The increase in advancement after writing is astronomical it allowed
people to know more than they could possible know just remembering
everything. Writing as a technology is a necessary requirement for
advancement of a culture at least in a technical sense.
The shift from memories to recordings
allowed specializations among people. As people begin to specialize a
culture diversifies. The big thing here is when agriculture became
specialized it allowed for groups of people to settle. As specialists
increase their ability knowledge of that act of aspect of life can
grow and continue to be recorded as improvements are made. The
recordings eventually allowed anyone who wished to read them access to
the knowledge of a master without the time investment, allow
continuation of development to exist.
This is short and sweet, writing
revolutionized the advanced world. Nothing we have today could
possibly exist without it. It's amazing to think that the world as we
know it would cease to be if writing just disappeared. It may be the
single omnipotent tool necessary for advancing anything without
conceptual limitations.
Insanity....
