The document traces the evolution of written communication from ancient Sumerian cuneiform to modern digital screens. It discusses the development of alphabets in Phoenicia and Greece and the later addition of punctuation and spaces between words. The document then examines technological changes like e-paper and the growth of the internet and social media. It raises issues around data privacy, copyright in a digital world, and how technology is changing readers, writers and the marketplace of ideas.
