  7. 15,000-10,000 (Cave paintings) First humans communicated only through speaking and simple drawings known as petroglyths (signs or simple figures carved in rock).Many of these are pictographs -- pictures or sketches that visually resemble that which is depicted.E.g., cave painting from Lascaux, France, c. 15,000-10,000 BC http://www.tcf.ua.edu/Classes/Jbutler/T389/ITHistoryOutline.htm

  8. 3,100 BC (Early Sumerian pictographs) • First development of signs corresponding to spoken sounds, instead of pictures, to express words. • Starting in c. 3100 B.C., the Sumerians in Mesopotamia (southern Iraq) devised cuneiform -- the first true written language and the first real information system. • Pronounced "coo-nay-eh-form" • Cuneiform's evolution:Early pictographic tablet (3100 B.C.). Pictographs were turned on their sides (2800 B.C.) and then developed into actual cuneiform symbols (2500 B.C.) -- as this clay tablet illustrates.

  9. Alphabet Around 2000 B.C., Phoenicians created symbols that expressed single syllables and consonants (the first true alphabet). The Greeks later adopted the Phoenician alphabet and added vowels; the Romans gave the letters Latin names to create the alphabet we use today.

  10. Paper and Pens--input technologies. Sumerians' input technology was a stylus that could scratch marks in wet clay. About 2600 B.C., the Egyptians wrote on the papyrus plant Papyrus Plant

  11. 1040 Ad (Chinese invent moveable type) Moveable clay and metal type are processes much more efficient than hand copying. The use of movable type in printing was invented in 1041 AD by Bi Sheng  in China. Bi used clay type, which broke easily, but eventually China and Korea sponsored the production of metal type (a type foundry was established by the Korean government in the early 15th Century). Since there are thousands of Chinese characters, the benefit of the technique is not as obvious as in European languages. The movable type did spur additional scholarly pursuits in Song Chinaand facilitated more creative modes of printing, but it did not replace block printing until modern Western printing systems were introduced. http://www.computersmiths.com/chineseinvention/movtype.htm

  12. 1874-1878 The first Typewriter It was called the "Sholes & Glidden Type Writer," and it was produced by the gun makers E. Remington & Sons in Ilion, NY from 1874-1878. It was not a great success (not more than 5,000 were sold), but it founded a worldwide industry, and it brought mechanization to dreary, time-consuming office work.

  13. We now know the basic history of The use of typography in print and how it developed over the years.
