The human ability and desire to communicate our feelings and experiences has always set us apart from other species and the evolutionary journey that begins at least 290,000 years ago with simple art forms leads us to a world today dominated by a plethora of technologies enabling instant and global communication.
Before humans were able to speak, which scientists believe developed around 35,000 BC, prehistoric art took a range of forms in every inhabited continent. These art forms, which range from carvings in animal bones to cave paintings, were used to record daily events and also as a form of entertainment for the early hunter gatherer communities.
The movement from pictures to words began with the invention of the first writing system in Sumer, an ancient civilisation located in modern day southern Iraq. Cuneiform (meaning ‘wedge-shaped’ which relates to the shape of the letters when made in wet clay) was invented between 3400 and 3200 BC and used symbols to represent sounds and words. This was shortly followed by the development of Egyptian Hieroglyphics and other symbol based writing systems independently in China, South America, and by 1900 BC in Europe.
100 years after the first writing system came to Europe, the first ‘true’ alphabet was developed in Phoenicia (located along the coastline of modern day Lebanon). The Phoenician alphabet consisted of 22 letters with no vowel sounds which is a practice still seen in written Arabic and Hebrew today.
Out of the Phoenician alphabet evolved the Greek alphabet and by 700 BC, the Latin alphabet which is still used today in many modern languages including English. The Latin alphabet has also adapted several times with the addition and deletion of some letters as well as many changes to its appearance dictated by the pen available.
The impact of the development of writing systems on human civilisation is huge, so much so that the term ‘prehistoric’ was traditionally used to describe the period in history before written records were kept. The contribution of writing to education enabled students to come together to learn with the development of the library and the university.
Despite the popularity of instant computer generated communication, the hand written word is far from obsolete. Global sales figures for pens and pencils suggest that humans still prefer to craft the most important communications themselves; perhaps not least because your humble pen or pencil requires no updates or upgrades or any power source.

Lately, online video content has proven itself to be the way forward for the promotions market.
A short time ago, the vast majority of internet marketing had been concentrated on plain text and the use of images to get messages across. However, it has quickly been recognised that in the fast paced industry of the promotions market, online video content is far more easily absorbed by potential customers than reams of text.
For this reason, among others, video content on marketing websites is fast becoming the most effective method of driving both traffic and sales. Time efficient, quick-click methods of gaining information are valuable to customers and increase chances of a sale.
When potential customers search Google and other search engines, online videos help them in finding websites and, once found, will supply them with visual and audio information that is easily understood, grabs their attention and allows them to retain information about your product in a way that text might never do.
Internet video traffic is steadily increasing with the expectation that by 2014, 90 per cent of all internet traffic will be video. This makes video content one of the strongest SEO options available for companies.
All major search engines including Google and Bing will give a website priority listing if there is video content contained within its pages. In fact, a landing page with video included is 53 per cent more likely to appear on the first page of search results in Google.
How can firms ensure their videos will make its mark? To increase their chances of appearing at the top of search engine results website owners should target particular search phrases – always consider what a potential customer would type as a search term. Once uploaded, a video will remain online until the website’s owner chooses to delete it, so it can be part of a short-term promotion or can be available as a permanent display of brand.
Promotions that use video have proven high success rates across the majority of industries, much more so than traditional text and image websites.
