According to the second point, "writing destroys the ability to memorize and weakens thought, those who use it, tend to forget as they rely on an exterior mechanism in order to remember", Walter J. Ong. (1982) wrote in his text, paragraph 4, "writing... more than any other artifitial creations, is utterly invaluable and indeed essential for the realization of fuller, interior, human potentials", from which the ability to memorize is one of them because, "Technologies are not mere exterior aids but also interior transformations of consciousness...".
In the fifth paragraph he wrote, "Technology, properly interiorized, does not degrade human life but on the contrary enhances it", what means that if it is well-linked to our skills, it will become the most important aid to develop them or improve them. This is also reaffirmed in the paragraph number 10, "True writing systems can and usually do develop gradually from a cruder use of mere memory aids. So, it shows that this writer does not agree with this second point.
