Great Library entry[]
As Civilizations progressed, developing concepts of private property, accumulating wealth, and expanding trade, records were required. Transactions needed to be documented and money needed to be counted. Writing was born. The first written languages tended to use pictograms or simple marks, but soon man turned to letters and numbers. This profound development revolutionized learning and opened new arenas for abstract thinking.
