I know that the idea of an alphabet spread from Egypt, but they used picto-graphs for sounds. How did others get the idea of an alphabet with markings representing 1 sound each?
Answer
There have been books written to cover this topic. It is a long story and full of controversy.
Egyptian hieroglyphs were first ideograms (pictographic writing) which only later were used to represent sounds.
The concept of an alphabet seems to have originated with the Phoenicians who might have taken the idea from the cuneiform script used by trading partners from Ugarit.
The symbols were originally pictographs which later became associated with the major sound in the word used for the item. Thus the drawing of an ox-head became Aleph (Ox) which became associated with the sound "a" and the drawing of a house became Beth (House) which became associated with the sound 'b".
To gain speed, the original drawings were simplified and stylized until they became the letters of the alphabet.

What is the process for getting an idea turned into a product made of plastic?

I have an idea for a product I wish to sell. I am unsure how someone gets their idea made into a tangible item. My idea is basically a plastic storage container that has a novel use. How do you go from an idea written on a piece of paper to a physical plastic storage container?
Answer
first you get a patent on your idea,then you find someone to make it for you.

Hi,
I want to advice you that companies sometimes do not buy ideas, unless already patented. If your want to expose your idea to a company you should obtain a Disclosure Agreement. You can get one with your lawyer or a draft at your local library. Make sure to put all the important points that you want to make sure they don't take from you. Some companies could take your idea from you and never pay you for anything. Another good idea is that you make a prototype to show the company during the meeting. This prototype can be either in paper (Like a report with graphs, draws, and all that stuff) or an actual thing that you touch and test.
If you have a product that you want to sell, try http://www.livetheinvention.com to sell it. They are friendly and helpful. Even if you have an small item they sell it for you online. The only requirement is that it needs to be made by you.
I hope this can help you
Thank You and God Bless You!
Good Luck :)
