Session Description
The first alphabet - proto-Sinaitic script - originated as graffiti shorthand among slaves in the copper mines of Sinai circa 1400 BC. Its promotion of revolutionary cognitive and cultural forms gives us a model for understanding the impact of contemporary and future technologies such as VR/cyberspace and exploitation of new wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.
