History of Writing:
Here are ten points about the history of writing:

Writing is a system of graphic marks that represent the units of a specific language¹.
Writing has been invented independently in different regions of the world, such as the Near East, China, and Mesoamerica
The earliest known writing system is the cuneiform script, created in Mesopotamia around 3200 BC
Cuneiform was preceded by proto-writing, which used symbols or tokens to record information without encoding grammatical words or affixes
The earliest uses of writing were to document agricultural produce, create contracts, and record finances, religion, government, and law
Writing enabled the spread of social activities, knowledge, and centralized power, as well as the development of institutions such as libraries, schools, and universities¹.
Writing also led to the emergence of various genres, such as poetry, history, and literature, which often reflected the social and cultural contexts of their writers
The alphabet, which is a system of writing that uses a limited set of symbols to represent the sounds of a language, was invented only once by the Greeks around the 8th century BC
The alphabet is considered a major achievement of Western culture, as it allows for accurate and efficient communication, expression, and interpretation of meaning
The alphabet has been borrowed and adapted by many cultures and languages, and has also influenced the development of other writing systems, such as syllabaries and abjads
