Man is not made of letters and numbers, or even algorithms and data. The drive removal accomplished by alphabetic writing led us to abstract thinking, enabled by the alphabet and mathematical signs. Man is not made of letters and numbers, nor of algorithms and data. The drive removal achieved by alphabetic writing has led us…
