Postliteracy

In my lifetime, we have reversed the evolution away from pictograms. Now we have to learn that two parallel lines mean "pause," that a kindergarten representation of coitus means "power on/off." I like words. If I last long enough, I will miss them.

My guess is that literacy will become a specialized skill: Some of the elite will have it; some will purchase it. Perhaps it will be that basis of a monastic-like order.
