Life With No Alphabet

Life would be very different if we had no alphabet. We would have no knowledge of history, science, math, or anything really... Considering the fact that one of the first things we learned was the alphabet and everything after that required knowledge of the alphabet we would know pretty much nothing. Our communication would be very restricted with no communication other than face to face. We would have no government, laws, or order. Everything would pretty much be a huge mess.
