We, as human beings have a special way to communicate, which differs in wide aspects from the one that some other species have. We use the language since we were created, not just to communicate, but also to express ourselves from the interior to the exterior. This expression grows up in our souls, goes to our minds and then, in order to go out, it changes from feelings to words.
It is important to consider this, if one wants to explain what writing is. Each person is different and much more our thoughts are, as it is known, many of them do not have any sense but on the contrary there are some others that really deserve to be taken into account, transmited and preserved.
Without writing all those special thoughts and speech just would go out to be taken by air and forgotten as if they would not have a value for the rest of the world.

Very profound thought. personally I agree with you in giving a high value to the incidence of writing in preserving our special thoughts, because in our defective nature we have some that only deserve to be thrown out. respectfully I recommend you to revise the syntax of "and much more our thoughts are", as well as the spelling of "transmited". Punctuation in "many of them do not have sense but on the contrary there are some.....".

I consider this is a good topic; the beginning is good entrance for presenting the idea, but I consider that is necessary to emphasize in what the title (orality and literacy: the tecnologizing of the word) Suggests.
