Some people say that the ability to read and write is more important today than in the past. I agree with this opinion for two reasons. First, most of information we can use comprises letters. Second, in order to enter the upper-class and be famous, we are required to read and write more skillfully and creatively.
To begin with, reading and writing skill is important to understand useful information on the Internet or books. Some people may think that as there are numerous digital mediums and multi-media systems on the Internet, we never need to read or write something. Unfortunately, crucial important and knowlege are exist in the form of the letter on the net. Naturally, many people use search program to research information they want and recreate these information to make theirs. Besides, In the post-industrial society and highly developed on-line sysyem, ability of understand and application about diverse knowlege from many sides of information sources become more inportant. For instance, in MIT, many professors empasizes reading and wrting skills, although almost students major in mathematics or science. This is because the professors know how important these skills to achieve a success in recent society. When reading and writing proficiency encounter other contents, great sinergy can be originated.
Furthermore, in order to enter the upper-class, we should read and write more professionally. Accoring to a study done by Brown University, many successful leaders and politicians have an abilities associated with the factors. In the past, illiterate people or poor educated people can get a good job and succeed enough. Nowadays, however, many abilities are required to resolve many problems we should deal with. Some of the abilities are reading and wrting skill. As global and worldwide system are rooted the world, we should care for documents and information about current issues and know more carefully. 3 years ago, a administrator took a mistake about FTA paper. This mistake led to great economical loss and country's financial damages. As a string of incidents, national people want to people who have a careful ability to understand about sensitive issues.
In conclusion, I agree that the ability to read and write more important today than in the past for the reasons that I have mentioned above.
