Why The Graphic Communications Industry Developed
People have always needed to communicate with other people. By learning to write and communicate graphically, our ancestors overcame a major limitation in spoken communication- the need for direct contact between people.
However, there were important problems to overcome before our ancestors could make maximum use of the graphic communication process. For example, materials for writing and printing had to be invented and developed. Then ways had to be found to reproduce many copies of a message. Because of their need to communicate efficiently, our ancestors learned how to solve each problem. As they did, the graphic communications industry grew.
