And how many reading books 60 years ago were learning to write them?
- 1_2__3 10y agoWhat a profoundly ridiculous comparison.
- lowkeyokay 10y agoWhy do you think it is rediculous?
- xkxx 10y agoBooks are just one form of text. There are plenty of others. Everybody who knows how to read books also knows how to write at least something. It's not true for software. There are plenty of people who can use some applications, but can't write any application, even as simple as a helloworld.

- owebmaster 10y agoGenius comparison. I don't think the evolution of tech caused the current situation. Proprietary code does :) Only free software could change it. I hear a lot of people feeling entitled to bash RMS, but it happens because they don't get the big picture.
- lowkeyokay 10y agoI actually had the same thaught. Learning to read or even basic writing doesn't compare to the skill and effort it takes to write something interesting, let alone a novel. You just know enough to consume what others have written. Basically the same as learning to use an iPad.
