First, we examine how humans communicated before the advent of writing as we know it. Next, we consider the profound effects that the development of writing and print literacy exercised on human societies, including the establishment of standardized meanings and the emergence of hierarchical social structures. This is followed by an exploration of the digital age, where electronic technologies for creating and distributing meaning-most recently exemplified by Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)-have revolutionized traditional understandings of literacy, highlighting the capacity to produce and interpret meaning across diverse formats. The goal is to illuminate how understandings of communication and literacy have consistently adapted to technological advancements and societal shifts, shaping the ways in which people make meaning, learn, and interact with the world.
