It's the same idea we have for cursive English (to a certain degree), there's just no such thing as non-cursive Arabic.

Besides, its positively advanced. There are plenty of other older languages that don't write vowels of any kind and don't have spaces between the words (nor, the relatively recent invention of punctuation). Also, it is helpfully phonetic rather than pictographic.
