Building knowledge from research

Abstract

From the moment the caveman felt the need to communicate his experiences, his exploits and even how his surroundings were shaped, he devised a rustic system of drawings with which he tried to capture all those days that emerged from day to day and, from there, what is now known as rock art, which would be nothing more than an incipient written language that would give rise to the chronicles and communication as such.

From those remote centuries to our days, there has been a lot of historicity that has been shaped through different modalities and the need to make use of adequate instruments to improve the message between a sender and a receiver. There was never a pause in that communication path. First were the attempts of alphabets to transcend orality, then advanced ideas with inventions such as Johannes Gutenberg (1400-1468) and its printing press to reach the computer system that allows us to use, today, a series of tools with cutting edge technology in information and communication.
