Writing
Writing is a graphic or visual representation of a language, by means of signs written or drawn on a medium, and which allows the exchange of information without using the voice. The invention of writing has often been used to distinguish Prehistory from history, although this conception is called into question, since it often leads to the conclusion that people without writing are "peoples without history", which is problematic for both the ancient and the extinct peoples as well as for certain contemporary indigenous peoples who do not know writing but are nevertheless integrated into the globalization of the twenty-first century.
