Is the ability to read and write more important today than in the past?

Writing and reading ability of people today is more important than in the past for many reasons. Some of them are tendency of people to learn, availability of learning centers, and willing to communication.

The first and foremost reason is that reading and writing are two prominent tools for learning and being aware of information. As we all know that today the tendency of people to learning is more than ancient people, consequently these two tools have become more important and valuable than before. People are forced to match with world. For this matching at least they need know reading and writing. The speed of progression such as creating a new device, exploring a new place, and inventing a new technology are as much as we cannot even imagine. How we can compare this pace of enhancement with that of it was before? For being aware of these events people should able to read. With these skills they are able to go ahead with up-to-date information in their life

Another illustration is the accessible centers and facilities that are available for learning writing and reading skills. Pervious people did not access to any institutions or centers for learning these skills. Just a few people who belong to wealthy level of society could learn these skills. The typical people who were the vast majority of society were deprived of possibilities of education and learning. Therefore, due to paucity of these centers, the importance of learning these primary skills would gradually be reduced in the society. On the contrary, today there are plenty numbers of universities and schools in all over the world that people can attend. Accessibility of these places has influenced on ability of reading and writing and beyond of it learning. Not only learn they a lot of new things with reading, but also writing their new ideas in an article and publishing it, would inform people of the world of their ideas.

Last but not least, the penchant of people to interact to each other caused the progress in these abilities. Writing and reading are rudimentary tools for communication. Nowadays, world has a great tendency to make more communication than before, especially by invention the Internet and computer all people in the world want to interact with each other. Furthermore, not only like they to learn how to write and read, but also are interest in learning the language or even vernacular of each other. Communication is another incitation for people to learn reading and writing more than past.

To put the issue into perspective, I completely consent that the ability of reading and writing is more important than before, since the tendency of people to learn is more than previous, there are numerous centers for enhancing these abilities, and the interest in communication is more prevalent among people as I have mentioned them above.
