Imagine you're a kid who wants to tell your friend about your day. At first, you draw pictures on the ground with sticks. Then someone comes up with symbols for sounds, like A for an apple and B for a ball. These symbols grew into something called the alphabet. Over time, they changed shape and traveled across the world, from ancient Egypt to your phone screen today.
Examples
- You type a message with your finger on your phone.
