220552 -
220553 -     1.  Orality
220554 -
220555 -         This first additional wonder makes humans unique by talking
220556 -         and listening in a way that conveys meaning between and among
220557 -         people, cited in POIMS, ref OF 1 5106, it enabled a relatively
220558 -         weak and slow species to dominate the world through
220559 -         cooperation, commonly called communication. ref DIT 1 MC6K
220561 -          ..

220563 -
220564 -         Alphabet technology was an explosive change in lifestyle,
220565 -         reviewed on 991108, that makes people superhuman, ref SDS 4
220566 -         5628, by magnifying the power of communication so that people
220567 -         can capture information in a form that human thought can be
220568 -         crafted, shaped, strengthened and preserved to share common
220569 -         understanding not only in the moment, as occurs in oral
220570 -         communication, ref DIT 1 LJ5K, but across space and time so
220571 -         that the wisdom of the ages can be passed along from one
220572 -         generation to another, as further reported on 010622.

220578 -         computer.
220580 -  ..
220581 - Having derived two additional wonders over an approximate 100K year
220582 - period, humanity now seems poised to once again add another wonder of
220583 - the world for converting information created through the wonder of
220584 - literacy into a culture of knowledge.

220590 -     3.  Knowledge
220591 -
220592 -         A third additional wonder of the world comes from wondering
220593 -         why with all of the sophisticated information technology we
220594 -         have using computers and satallites, ref DIT 1 02GS, how could
220595 -         national security suffer such a severe blow on 010911.
