Is Literacy a Crutch?
September 15, 2018
It depends on how you use it. If you are a doctor and refer to your notes on all of your exams instead of memorizing the information and truly understanding it, then yes, literacy is your crutch. Now if you are a doctor who has already memorized all of the information, understands it and has come up with new methods to do a procedure, then no, literacy is not a crutch.
Without literacy, life would be a game of telephone.
