In 1961, the first computer game called Spacewars was generated by some students at MIT Massachusetts. Before the start of the color screens on the computer, games were played on black and white screens by some people. However, the trend quickly took off and visual representations on the screen became associated with computers. Initially, graphics weren’t the most integral part of the computer world. Even emoticons on social media are a form of graphic illustration (it’s almost that we came full circle back to the hieroglyphics today). Images were simply better at telling us about an event. Even today, a toddler’s Alphabet book can be found, filled with colored images of animals and scenes. During the Medieval ages, monks would illustrate books and texts with beautiful imagery. Certainly, they do not appear very appealing to us now, but these were the words of ancient times. Visuals such as water, birds, and palaces were depicted with simple images. Words often were depicted in the form of simple images. Ancient Egyptians used Hieroglyphics to communicate information with each other. The concept is older than the birth of the first alphabet. Even across time! The cave paintings of prehistoric times gave us an idea of the lifestyle of those communities today. Graphics are an essential part when it comes to conveying your message to others.
