How has writting changed over time?

Hieroglyphics is an Egyptian way for communicating with each other. They created symbols to designate a letter and draw/paint them in a vertical way. In modern days we use letters as a way of interacting by writing letters horizontally across a piece of paper. This is how humankind communicates with each other without having to draw pictures and write them the way the Egyptians did. Down below I have written my name using the hieroglyphics.
