Have you ever wondered what it would be like it you could only say 100 words per day? How/what or on who will you spend your words on?

Since around 9000 years BC, people started to use other types of communication called Pictograms/Pictographs. They were symbols that represented different objects, activities, places, or even concepts by a simple illustration. This represented a more complex form of communication where ideas were presented through multiple drawings. They were often ordered chronologically and explained a whole story rather than just one object or event.

After this, communication kept developing, and people were using a new form of pictograms called ideograms. The difference between them was that pictograms represented something like an object or an event and only that, whereas ideograms represented an idea and much broader concepts. For example, a pictogram of a circle could mean "sun," but they never could explain concepts like "heat" or "light." Ideograms made that possible; they conveyed more abstract concepts and made communication even clearer. After this, humans started to develop writing systems already! Even though we have proof of these drawn and written communication methods, there is no way to know how people's speaking started or improved over time.

Speaking is a crucial part of our lives. We talk every day, some of us more and some of us less but we all do it in one form or another. Some people speak more, whereas other write more. However, the number of words that are produced by every single person daily is very high. Some studies show that people on average speak the minimum of 7000 words per day. This number can get much higher. Some people can say up to 30.000 words per day or more! Now that's a lot of speaking for a day. Of course, a lot of different factors contribute to the person's average usage of words per day. Things like your character, the number of family members or friends you're close with, the profession you're in, and so on, can impact that number very much. For example, a programmer that spends most of his day on the computer is far more likely to have a low daily average whereas a talk show host might have a pretty high daily average because talking is literally their job.
