No Alphabet?

Without the existence of an alphabet, life would be weird.  School would be easier though.  There would be no books, so the teachers would have to talk and teach us about what they learned from going to school.  Normally, when teachings are passed down from generation to generation, things are lost in the translation and meanings get turned around.  What we might learn from one teacher, another teacher may be teaching another group something different about the same subject.  I also think that without an alphabet, we would not have all the slang words we now have.  We probably would have just a few words.  No writing or readng means no homework ever.  Awesome!
