i agree with bundy. The printing press i believe ushered in a new era of enlightenment.
edit: to all those with a "language" answer- How did anyone "invent" language? All animals have some form of communication with one another that could be termed as a language of sorts, and some of these communications are really quite complex.
Human language is merely the evolution of grunts and squacks into a greater vocabulary. I don't think any one ancestor invented language when he made up a new grunt for tree, or clouds. Language of a sort has been with up for hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps millions. (if you believe that darwinian evolution stuff)
