Answer 2

As human societies emerged, the development of writing was driven by pragmatic exigencies such as exchanging information, maintaining financial accounts, codifying laws and recording history. Around the 4th millennium BC, the complexity of trade and administration in Mesopotamia outgrew human memory, and writing became a more dependable method of recording and presenting transactions in a permanent Form.

The major writing systems—methods of inscription—broadly fall into five categories: logographic ,
syllabic , alphabetic, featural , and ideographic (symbols for ideas). A sixth category, pictographic, is insufficient to represent language on its own, but often forms the core of logographies.

The many tools and writing materials used throughout history include stone tablets , clay tablets, bamboo slats, papyrus , wax tablets , vellum ,
parchment, paper , copperplate , styluses, quills, ink brushes , pencils , pens , and many styles of
lithography . The Incas used knotted cords known as
quipu (or khipu) for keeping records.
