A quick look at the effects the alphabet has on the way we
gather information. Conveyed through the ideas of Paul Levingson
& Marshal McLuhan

Before the AlphabetHieroglyphs were the only medium
for preserving the spoken word.They depicted the meaning of a
word in images rather than sound.

A Revelation Amenhotep IV created essentially
the first monothesic diety (one God) worshiping the sun...
The pharaoh chose to use hieroglyphs to convey his message…

The End of the Beginning Needless to say, Amenhoteps
attempt at a monotheistic deity died with him.
But his fundamental ideas were adopted by the Hebrews, and conveyed in a completely different way…

The Age of Linear Thought The Hebrews created an alphabet that
used sounds to apply meaning to objects and ideas.
This was a better form for expressing the idea of God because it’s hard to give meaning to something that isn’t tangible…

We get lost in the picas and points of text, and
look only to it for answers…
