Drawing is our oldest technology for thinking and sharing ideas. This technology allowed us to evolve through visual problem solving. By drawing, people could record events and communicate new ideas long before written language had even been a thought in our minds. As we continue to explore caves, we continue to find drawings created by early humans that depict stories, plans and beliefs. This is significant because it shows drawing as a tool used for thinking and planning leading to evolving communication.

Just like writing shows thought processes, drawing is visual thinking that helps us to see patterns and solutions in a clearer way than words can. Drawing is fast and universal. Simple shapes such as circles, squares, lines, and arrows can show complex ideas instantly. This can lead to easier communication universally and convert small thoughts into multi-million-dollar companies or revolutionary technology.

“Digital Storytelling” is a powerful tool that takes drawing technology to a whole new level. This can include video, audio, animation, photography, and interactive media on a digital interface such as a cell phone or computer and often accessed through the internet. When we use digital storytelling as a tool, we create immersive and emotionally resonant experiences that can captivate audiences and encourage them to invest in us both mentally and financially.

“Infographics” is yet another way that drawing technology has evolved and is a way to convey information with little user effort required. This usually includes charts, icons, images, and text. This can be helpful for making sales or securing contracts.
