Books also cause loss of skills.

One effect of widespread books is we don’t have poets like Homer. We don’t develop the memorization skills like they did in the past.

And that’s ok.

We can use the bandwidth for other stuff.

Like fighting on social media...

Seriously, what was the other stuff that we used our bandwidth for when the books caused the loss of skills.

We have lost Homer, but what have we gained? A million social-media warriors?
