Summary
Writing has been a mainstay of communications for thousands of years. Evolving from ideograms and pictographs, and eventually simplified into alphabetical scripts, writing systems has transformed tremendously alongside spoken languages. Writing instruments and tools changed from scratches to stylus as printing changed from woodwork to inkjet. Existence of writers’ community where multiple languages are shared create documents of bilingual nature. However, as writing can take form on any media ranging from physical to digital, the art of handwriting may be lost if not in continued practice.
