The earliest evidence of symbols representing sounds comes from Ancient Egyptian, around 3200 BCE. They developed several writing systems all used together: A one-consonant alphabet (each symbol represented 1 consonant), a two-consonant alphabet, a three consonant alphabet, and a large number of pictograms, representing words.

A schoolmaster from England, Rowland Hill invented the adhesive postage stamp in 1837, an act for which he was knighted. Through his efforts the first stamp in the world was issued in England in 1840. Hill created the first uniform postage rates that were based on weight, rather than size. Hill's stamps made the prepayment of postage both possible and practical.
