The interesting thing about the alphabet (any alphabet, really) is that we can use just a small set of characters to represent a huge range of sounds, and by combining them, almost any idea one can think of.

Compare this to Kanji, for example, and you can see that the alphabet is a great invention.

I'm voting 'yes.'
