So found out an interesting fact the other day. I was reading the book Moonwalking with Einstein and when reviewing ancient memory practices I found out something that I was never told before. It turns out that the idea of separating words didn't appear until about the 9th century in Europe, which mean you had to read out loud in order to understand what text was saying. In fact for a long time being able to read silently was considered an almost magical ability. I find it fascinating how many things we just take for granted that really are big breakthroughs.
