As easy as ABC? A tale of alphabet(s)

Numer: 
333

In the world full of headlines, text messages and slogans we’re slowly ditching letters altogether in favour of emojis and pictograms. They tend to express our emotions better than the written word. History comes full circle, which is the moment to think about why we started writing in the first place. During the lecture we will consider following issues: What kinds of alphabets are there? How do we know A comes first? Since when has the alphabet been around?
