And now imagine you could save not just text or images or music but also more abstract things like emotions and meaning. And now imagine you can do it in a true human readable form so that many people (not just scholars or priest with secret knowledge) in a post apocalyptic or indeed a normal future can read it. And now imagine that only a limited set of characters even very simple ones can store that data even in just one character measuring just enough space so one can read it. How awesome is that? And we already have this system and it was developed thousads of years ago.
