Studying the advancements of early cultures is important because it allows for us to not only continue to push ourselves to improve upon the way that we see media and do things, but it allows us to understand just how far we have come as a society. It is also helpful to see that some of the techniques that were used in earlier times are still being put into play today. Looking back, helps us to understand how we got where we are today as well. Where would we be without the documented scribes of the past? Scribes could be considered to be some of the first forms of journalism. They helped to translate information from one party to another and while we are in the increased technology phase, the ways of the past still are relevant in today’s society.
