The Evolution of Writing Through the Ages
This ten minute read from the Savoir en bref collection takes you from prehistoric caves to neural networks. Writing enabled the storage of knowledge and the building of civilisations, and it is now at the heart of debates on artificial intelligence. Early signs carved on clay tablets, the invention of the alphabet, Gutenberg's press, markup languages and connected pens : each chapter reveals a decisive step. Recent data show that handwriting boosts memory and creativity, while AI tools increase productivity and decipher ancient texts. The book also sheds light on ethical issues related to automatic content generation and the preservation of calligraphic skills. Written in a clear, well argued style, it offers keys to understanding how to combine keyboard, pen and algorithms to get the best from each mode of writing.
