    With the movie, people will forget how to read.

    With the printing press, people will forget how to write.

    With the book, people will forget how to remember.

    With writing, people will forget how to talk.

      Side note: people don’t talk like they used to. It’s not writing that did this, it’s the online forums. As people immersed more and more in online only communications, I’ve seen their morals and self regulation fail. People talk similar to how they comment online: trash without a filter
