To the speech-only world, it was a new way to store and send information - somewhat similar to addition of digital to our analog communication. Not only did it demand new scribing skills, it also meant the populations must learn to read - beyond a select class of intellectuals. New tools such as reed pens, ink and palm leaves became common place - just as we mass adopted general purpose computers. Intelligence from higher dimensions (Ganesa) was invoked to usher humanity into this new era, just the way we are setting almost mystical 3 AI models in motion. It isn't hard to imagine "AI enabled humans" would scale new highs of conscious experience in the same manner as "text" enabled we did - versus our speech-only ancestors - a quantum jump 4 !"
