I disagree that language was discovered; DEVELOPED perhaps... but WRITTEN language...particularly phonic alphabets... the concept of making pictures that equate to sounds of language is a fabulously abstract one and IMO really marks a turning point in humans' ability to communicate. When a society develops a sense of its own history and feels the need to record it, it has really come of age.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . What do you think is the greatest invention ever is? Mine has to be light bulbs by Thomas Edison. Simply because they aid us in every day (and night for the pedants) life. It must of been a bitch to use raw fire every time we needed to see artifically. We take them for granted. Big up Thomas Edison. Rating: 5
