During this era, written communication was not mobile, but nonetheless existed. • Eventually writing began to appear on paper, papyrus, clay, wax, etc. Common alphabets were introduced, allowing the uniformity of language across large distances. • Today, Information Communication Revolution, information can now be transferred via controlled waves and electronic signals- The Internet
