For example, writing helped establish various religions, seeing as beliefs were recorded down in religious texts and propagated throughout the land. Laws were established in writing as well. And great advancements in science and mathematics wouldn’t have been feasible without the ability for people to communicate and exchange scientific theories and ideas effectively. But humanity’s desire to interact with each other still wasn’t satisfied, and innovations in communication technologies continued.
