Communication and Communication from Ancient Greece to Rome

Communication from Ancient Greece to Rome and Book Description “The King asked God what the benefits of all these inventions were, and he applauded what God said and criticized what he did not like. The king liked so many things and hated so many things that it would take too long to describe. But when it came to writing, Theut said, "O king," this knowledge will make the Egyptians wiser and make it easier for them to remember many things, because this knowledge is the medicine of memory and wisdom. The king replied: “O great master Theuth, on the one hand there are those who know how to create art, and on the other hand there are those who judge what benefit and what harm they can derive from it by those who will use it. Now that you are the father of writing, you have said the exact opposite of its true value. Indeed, the discovery of writing will weaken the memories of those who will learn it. Because they will leave everything to writing and get used to remembering only from those strange signs, not from themselves; This means that you have not found the cure for memory, you can only teach it to summon memory. As for wisdom, you can teach your disciples not the truth, but only appearance; by listening to you, they will think they know a lot, but in fact they will know nothing. It will be very difficult to talk to them, because they will not be wise, but mere thinkers.” (From the Promotional Bulletin)
