Alphabetic writing systems can be traced back to nature.
There are hundreds of alphabets and non-alphabetic writing systems in current use on the planet. Go to Omniglot to see them.
The Sumerians developed a writing system of wedge-shaped strokes which influenced the style of scripts in the fertile crescent for the next 3000 years. Over time all of the diverse writing systems, which encompass both logophonetic, consonantal alphabetic, and syllabic systems, became known as cuneiform.
No, they are not all the same.
Syllabic writing systems, which represent syllables rather than individual phonemes or whole words, offer several advantages, such as increased reading efficiency and ease of learning for speakers of languages with complex phonetic structures. However, they can also present disadvantages, including limitations in representing all phonetic nuances and potentially leading to ambiguity in pronunciation or meaning. Additionally, syllabic systems may require more characters than alphabetic systems, making them less compact. Overall, the effectiveness of syllabic writing depends largely on the linguistic context in which it is used.

In computer programming, a string can be made up of; all numbers (a numeric string,) all letters, (an alphabetic string,) or a mixture of numbers, letters, and symbols, (an alphanumeric string.)
Alphabetic Correspondence Filing means filing all correspondence [names of individuals, businesses, organizations etc] by alphabetical order.
It was alphabetic, and allowed accuracy and easy understanding of complex words, as opposed to the pictograms and syllabic scripts before they invented this. It was so effective that it was adapted by the Greeks and Romans for their own writing, and forms the basis of our common writing today.It was the first to use a simple, flexible alphabetic writing system. From the Phoenician alphabet developed the Greek and Roma alphabets which underpin the alphabets we use today.It was alphabetic and enabled better communication and record keeping.Phoenicians writing was important because they has so much trade. They needed a way to simplify writing. Cuneiform had hundreds of symbols, just to much and complicating. So they found out a way to write with using 22 symbols. Making it easier for trade.

No Not At All
Not exactly. Not all Egyptian writing was hieroglyphic, and not all hieroglyphic writing was Egyptian. Hieroglyphics is a general term for picture-based writing systems, and the ancient Egyptians were not the only people to invent such a system. Ancient Mayan and Luwian (a language of Asia Minor) were also written using hieroglyphs (which looked very different from the Egyptian kind). At the same time, the ancient Egyptians had other writing systems. Hieratic, a form of cursive writing using ink on papyrus, existed alongside hieroglyphics from the very beginning. Another cursive form of writing, demotic, later developed from hieratic. Ultimately all of these writing systems were replaced by the Coptic alphabet, which was derived from the Greek alphabet.
alphabets contains only the letters from a-z while alphanumeric has both numbers and letters... example... ABCDEFGHIJ are alphabets A4F54F54F5G AND 3F3FS34TH3 are both alphanumeric... alphanumeric are commonly used as passwords since they are more difficult to crack that words or numbers separately...
