Last time, we talked about a Type A civilization under the Information Mastery Scale. Today, we will be looking at a Type B civilization and some of its defining characteristics!
According to Sagan, a Type B civilization is one that processes 10^7 unique bits of information. This kind of information content would be enough to start the development of a written language as well as a spoken one. Once a written language is established, the total information content rapidly explodes. In our case, the Sumerian language is the oldest linguistic record that we know of. This led to the invention of many useful things.
