RBF Definitions
“…The very first industrial tool was the spoken word. Without another man to employ it with him one man would have no reason to invent a spoken word. The meaning of a word had to be cooperatively arrived at between at least two human beings. We read in the Scriptures: ‘In the beginning was the Word.’ We may modify that now to say, ‘In the beginning of industrialization was the word,’ and with the word came the eventuated increasingly swift compounding of man’s experiences and the integration of knowledge of everyone everywhere and from one generation to another.”
