Abstract
For the past century, Western languages written with alphabets have had a distinct advantage over Oriental languages written with ideographs (the Chinese characters used in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean). Alphabetic languages could be written on typewriters—simple machines any writer could own and even carry around—and could also be transmitted by telex, then printed out at the receiving end by something like a typewriter.
