Worlton, J

The need to store information is older than civilization itself. Primitive peoples recorded information about their lives, activities, and environment as early as the Paleolithic Era, and some of these records are still extant. Beginning with these records, this paper will review some of the symbolisms, media, and tools used for recording information through the major ages of technology, with emphasis on the very early history of the recording of information.
