Excerpt from Breaking the Spell: An Appeal to Common Sense

WE do not know who was the first man to write a word. For long centuries language existed only as speech. The invention of written signs to represent the spoken language was a momentous advance in civilisation. It made it possible to communicate thoughts to those at a distance, far beyond the range of the voice, thoughts that would survive even when the voice of the man that conceived them had long been hushed by death.
