where would we be without signs?

Hi mahesh, how are you. Interesting discussions. I agree that signs are very helpful in every field of life. It is great that human beings got educated and made life easy, day by day, sometimes by inventing new things or sometimes by discovering things which were already existing but man kind was unaware of it. Imagining world with proper signs means world without any instructions, guidelines, rules regulations.....wow sounds scary.....lol Thanks to Education and Knowledge spreading people.

I dont think the world is THAT ignorant,is it?lol!Maybe your rite.Since,it is a human habit to look for 'sighns' in all areas of life.

When you think about it that way it is really clear that signs are so neccessary. Even street signs that tell us what street we are on and signs with addresses. But then again there used to be signage in my country that said For Whites Only and things like that so signage can also be harmful. However signage is an important part of our society I willgive you that.

During WWII, most of Europe either painted out their street signs or took them down to confuse the Germans. It did work at times too! The only problem was the railroads made it easy to find directions because they were laid out logically, but even they could be confusing with their signs removed. I think is was a grand effort of resistance to remove all the signs. Can you just immagine the effort of haveing to put them all back after the War when so many landmarks were destroyed. It must have been hard even for the locals. Shalom~Salaam~Peace

signs are the mark of direction in any city so that the pedestrans will know which direct or way to go ,signs on road have made the world a better to live ,and have also make transportation more easier.

signs is part of world's life ..without think 2000 years before ..that life will be now for us

Can you ever guest the loss of human life and materials/machines that are occurring everyday inspite of having the signs. Thanks to people who are engaged in implementing signage boards.

no I cannot a imagine a world without signs, even before writing came about people communicated through signs, they used sign language which is vitally important today for who cannot talk (mute) the ancient predicted world events through signs, farmers predicted crop seasons etc through weather signs religions predicted different religious happening through signs, doctors looks at different signs of disease etc to help people in ancient times and today as well

I totally depend on signs for everything..If we did not have them we would never knpw where we are going, or where to exit,we would be totally lost..I agree with you..

I don't want to imagine a world without signs - I never paid much mind to them until now but to think of all the 'mess-ups' and bad things that could happen if we didn't have signs is depressing.

A worl without signs can be chaotic. Anyway, signs are not invented by man. It was designed by God during the creation. God only implemented it.

No I can not imagine how crazy life would be without traffic signs. I do believe like you had metioned that their would be a horrible increase in accidents. Their would be total mayhem. People would be driving all crazy especially the old people. There would be an increase in road rage alone. There'd be no crosswalks or stop signs, there'd be no control a total lack of it.

hi, I will say that it will be a totally chaostic world without signs. the simplest thing that I can imagine is ... I don't know where to go and I will be lost completely in a new place without sign. people will not know where they should turn to when they drive, and nobody knows for sure what kind of things being sold by a store or how much the price is for certain products, and yes, we will be completely lost without signs.
