a whole alphabet so that traders could speak to others easily. It seems weird, but it is a form of technology. It may be an idea, but you do use it to benefit your life.
Today, we use the same principle. Any language you take, there will be a way to write it so that you can understand what is being written. It helps us to connect with others around the world. So thanks to the Phoenicians (for sparking the idea of universal alphabet), we can do business with anyone. Along with writing, I should mention the history of the pencil or pen. It is one of the most used pieces of technology today.
It started with writing on the walls. The primitive humans would etch using a rock, remember how useful a rock is. Of course walls weren’t mobile. When pottery was big, the images would be painted on them for mobile messages. Soon traders used clay tokens to keep track of their supplies. The alphabet came around and made writing truly writing. Paper and pen came around in Greece with a stylus, either bone, metal or wax.
The Chinese made their own ink that was practically perfect. They also added dyes to get different colors when drawing. Along with the invention of ink, the paper came around. Papyrus and parchment were the most common use of paper being used by the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians and Hebrews. Papyrus was mostly famous in Egypt, commonly known as Prisse papyrus today. The Romans made a reed-pen that was perfect for the parchment and ink due to the hollow tubular body made from marsh grass, as well as the jointed bamboo plant.
That stick for pens was soon turned into a primitive fountain pen for it was filled with ink and when squeezed, it would release the ink. Soon China invented the wood-fiber paper in 105 A.D. and didn’t spread until six hundred years later. Around that time though, the most used pen was made; the quill pen. It is simply a feather from a bird, better if it is living and from the outer wing. The left wing was more common for it curved to fit the style of one who is right-handed. The downfall with the quill pen was that it had to be replaced every week and took a long time to prepare.
