Living in the world which have considerable amounts of information is a harsh thing to do. Every day people need to read a lot of materials and now it is essential for people to write. In this social trend, I think it is beneficial and improtant for people ot have the ability to read and write. And I am sure that these days it the ability to read and write is more important than it was in the past.
To start with, reading and writing enable us to digest lots of information. It is certain that listening is also a good way to recieve information. However, the amount of speaking is limited. Also the writings have are more logical than the speech, and the readers have time to underestand about it. Therefore I think is is essential for people to get informed by reading so they can get information a lot with efficiency. Also the skill memoing is also useful. Since, the amount of memory is limited we can store the information by writing in the paper. However, in the past these skills were not beneficial. They only recieved a little amount of information, and it was easy enough for them to understand it.
In addition, the writing skill enable us to conserve the information and the reading enable us to absorb the infomation. The key of human development is fire and words. It made human possible to give their knowledge to their offspring. However these days the amount of information which needs to be preserved is increasing. Therefore, we need to make lots of writings and books to keep this knowledge. Also the reading is crucial, since we need to understand the knowledge written in the book. In the past however, the amount of information created was little so that they could manage by narrating it by making it a story.
In a nutshell, I think writing and reading skills are important these days since, it enable us to digest lots of information and it enable us to preserve and understand the information.
