There might be some confusion about the transition to what some call post-literate era: era where text is not the primary medium. That’s not necessarily bad because you get the advantages of other mediums - oral and visual but it is something to keep in mind.
- tim333 10mo agoI'm bit skeptical that a post-literate era is happening. I gather it appears in some sci-fi but I don't see much sign in reality. I mean here we are on a text only site. If anything we seem to be heading for a 100% literate society.

- gessha 10mo agoI don’t think the post-illiterate era means that text will disappear. I think it’s just not going to be dominant anymore but I also have my reservations since I do prefer the text medium.
