The alphabet, the first technology that is foisted upon us.
Wonder what it would be like to go back in time and communicate with sapiens that we're never alphabetized. Would these oral people think my tongue awkward ?
Would we be alien to one another, pointing and gesturing in an effort to communicate our basic needs ? How is it that in 2018 I can run into an Italian - (speaking no Italian and her no English ) and find ourselves incapable of painting an image of who the other is or what the other stands for?
Words are like paint and our tongue the brush, with them we can whisk another into a brilliant world of words and it is there that we will most often find the full expression of our species.
Words, the magic of humanity.
