BR:11 The history of money

A long time ago, before there was money, people bartered with one another. This means they swapped one type of good for another.If one person wanted to buy a goat, they had to have something to swap for it. A person might swap a pig for a goat. This is called bartering.
Bartering worked for thousands of years, but there were times when it did not work. Not everyone wanted to swap their goods for the goods they were offered. So another idea was needed. People needed to find a way to trade goods with something that everyone wanted. So the idea of money came about.

I think that money is important things now. But before there was money, other things were important things. I have heard that my grandmother used to bartered with one another. So people could communicate with neighbors. I think that connection with the person has weakened recent and communications skill have decreased. People are not able to live without communication with people. I think that modern people should value the connection with the people more. Do you think so, don't you?
