Reading/Writing

After thinking how the majority of people in that time period of the book couldn't read or write, i thought about the things we do today that require it. First we wouldn't be able to take notes in classes, take tests, or ever have any homework from school, which this would all be great, except the fact that i might be an idiot. But others include not being able to text my friends, use myspace, or any social networking sites online, there might as well not even be an internet because most sites require you to read, this also means I wouldn't even be doing this assignment or even knew it was possible to do. But thankfully most of the world can read and write so I have nothing to worry about.
