Ancient Egyptian {Writing}

05/06/18

Social studies we are looking at Egyptian technology, and how writing as a form of technology changed over the years.


Hieroglyphics is the writing system used for many years, which is one of Egypt's most mysterious history.  They used this type of writing which is drawing instead of the letters we use now. The pictures they draw represented each letter in the alphabet, but it was harder to understand since some pictures looked the same but had different meanings.

Example of Hieroglyphics(the drawing of my name)

This type of writing started changing as the years went on. Now we don't use pen and paper or have to draw pictures we can just write in letters that we can use easily and understand.
Technology improves each year now we have devices (e.g, phones, laptops and etc) to communicate with and use to write anything we want on, it doesn't take up as much time and doesn't need to be erased every time we make a mistake.
