Kroeber (A. L. Kroeber, Anthropology, Harcourt, Brace, New York, 1948, pp. 509–537) emphasized the alphabet as a classic example of recognizable cultural entity which persisted for centuries. As Spicer14 put it, “It (the alphabet) existed in recognizably similar form among Phoenicians, Hebrews, Greeks, Arabs, Romans, and so on, into the late 20th century when it has become, in the same ancient, basic form tightly integrated into such knowledge storage and retrieval systems as indexes, encyclopedias, handbooks, city directories, and telephone books, systems on which complex modern societies depend for the maintenance of their total culture patterns.”
