pictograph

Can you imagine using a technology like pictographs that have been around since the time of the Pharaoh’s? OK, so this may be a silly question because we all know that we already use the same technologies as they did. However, the point behind the question is the sheer amazement that we still use such ancient practices in our daily lives, and how what they did back then shapes our world today.With all the advanced technological ideas that come out today like the internet and the ability to fly and man to the moon, it has to be remembered that none of these would be possible without first learning how to communicate through pictographs, or how to use physics to build giant pyramids.

The first form of written word was simple pictures carved in stone, or dirt, or clay. These primitive forms of communication naturally developed to what we know today. However, you can still see the footsteps of those first pictographs in our every day world. When you see a stop sign, a key on a map, or even the digital versions called “icons”, you can thank such “primitive” cultures like the late great Pharos for their contribution to the world. So every time you use a cool icon on your website or your power point presentation, you can know that you share a common bond with those amazing people.

Furthermore, this written technology is seen used in corporate boardrooms all over the world. These powerhouse companies use this simple graph to show the meaning of the statistical data that they gathered. So whether you are a teacher at school showing young students the wonder of Egyptian pictographs, or you are working your way up the corporate ladder, remember where we started.
