Writing a Greatest invention in history

The History has seen greatest things starting from invention from “wheel”, “fire”, “radio,

television, phone, internet” over years or centuries but as a student of “All skill class”, we

believe that writing is the most important invention over the period from Mesopotamian

Civilization until now. First, it is not just one of the basic foundations of our civility but it is a

marker of our intellectual growth. Second, it’s a medium of history where all other inventions are

talking to rest of the world about their existence. Third, by capturing the idea of someone it

forms the language tool which serves as evidence of all those others inventions which may have

come handy tool of common man. Its origins are prosaic which tickles my memory of past where

all documentation in Indian Mythology was done by famous teachers, or Hindu God “Brahma”

but it has seen daylight account of Modern world to from “Speech of Independence” to Steve Job

account of “Apple” in New World. However, we see writing as a process where we learn, our

teacher teaches us, in addition to all of these above speeches which came as an idea of someone,

gone into history as great writings. Finally the amazing part of its history, given how

complicated its early systems were, is that everyone learned it at all and writing is an important

tool of literacy, and power that now extends to most of humanity, and has done more for human

progress than any other invention.
