    Sorry you are communicating in an obselete form

    Such is the life under capitalism...

    please use a voice message

    Isn't the cool new social network, Clubhouse or something, voice only? The future is now, baby!

      Voice or video only seems like a really inefficient way to actually do anything. Have you never had to pick out an individual piece of information ever? Would you prefer skimming or skipping back and forth through audio?

        Me, personally, I prefer text, but I know a share of people who fave no problems with searching videos and audio. I guess it's something you can get used to. Also current tech is pretty close to basically be able to ctrl-f a video lecture.

          I just can't imagine science or engineering getting done in an illiterate world. You'd need to have equations dictated to you repeatedly as you try to figure out a way to proceed.

            I can imagine it. Not every field makes heavy use of equations and there are blind people who use screen readers and are very competent software engineers.

            Either way those are specialized skills. Theoretical physicists or whatever can learn reading and writing if they want to.

            I dunno. I don't see anything wrong with people not being forced to learn to read to participate in the society. We already have the technology.
