In 1799, one of Napoleon's soldiers unearthed a stone on which was carved a decree issued two centuries before Christ that was written in two languages - Egyptian and Greek - and in three different scripts: hieroglyphics, demotic Egyptian and Greek, which were all being used in Egypt at the time. Scholars eventually were able to decipher the two unknown scripts by comparing them to the known one, Greek. The Rosetta Stone, as the artifact became known, provided a key to deciphering ancient Egyptian writing.

Henry-Jean Martin's book, 'The History and Power of Writing' traces the roots of modern communication. He demonstrates how today's Internet culture developed from the foundations built by the earliest humans, ancient storytellers and scribes, royal libraries, the emerging literary establishment, and journalists. In this book, Martin contends that the introduction of a new communication technique over the years never obliterated any of the existing techniques, but simply demanded a new distribution of labor in the overall system. He acknowledges that early data-processing machines and the computers that followed are exerting a great impact on society, particularly on custom, behavior patterns, beliefs, cultures and law.
