Hieroglyphs and Holograms
Hieroglyphics
used in old Egyptian times
communication-
through symbols, signs, and pictures;
non-verbal interactions.
Ancient Egyptians
interpreted at a glance
meanings and feelings.
Symbols would stir emotions-
provide factual knowledge.
Hieroglyphics
exist in these modern times;
new name- Emoji.
Used in our digital world;
pictures like smiley faces.
Just like hand signals,
Emojis speak non-verbal
emotions, feelings-
a whole thought in one image
enhances verbal insights.
Holograms- new tech;
3-D visions, light-induced.
Like feats of magic-
project images, not there;
visions that hang in the air.
Where will this tech lead?
Like ancient Hieroglyphs
replaced by plain words-
will we reverse the process,
draw 3-D signs in the air?
Language of symbols
holograms show more than words-
images and signs
3-D Hieroglyphics;
expressions of tomorrow?
