You are the living proof that the written word is not dead in this age of the Internet and beyond. But, will the written word ever die? Is there any need for us to fear for its demise?
When I became an author in the late eighties, before the Internet boom, many people said that the written word was dead. Specially being a Brazilian author, I heard constantly that it was useless to become a writer since the language of literature was now English.
When Internet was implemented during the nineties, it stimulated people to read and write once more. This illustrates the idea that when people predict something usually it’s the opposite that happens.

All words will continue, whether they be written or spoken until they are no longer necessary. They will continue to have use while we think we do not know the truth of all that is, while we are in the state of thinking we need someone else to explain how it all is. Once we all remember what we are and stop pretending to be otherwise, words will cease to have any part to play.
There’s something magical about writing, about the written word.
Maybe that’s why it always, somehow, exists.
Maybe because it’s more permanent than the word that is said?
So, keep writing Paulo, be the magician of the WORD !
lots of love

If the Bible is still read, if Shakespeare is still relevant, then it seems to me the written word is alive and well. As long as humanity exists, the need to communicate our thoughts will also. And of course, the imagination,and the expression of it, will as well.
When you believe in the positive, choose to visualize uplifting experiences, those will be the ones you think about and create in life. Remind yourself of the phrase, “Ask and it is given.” The truth is there.
Word is the part of World!
- doesn’t it?
so…..
neverending..

WHEN AS HUMAN BEINGS WE BECOME SO DEVELOPED/TRANSFIGURED THAT WE DO NOT NEED TO RELY ON OTHER MEANS OF COMMUNICATION OTHER THAN TELEPATHY, THE WRITTEN LIKE THE SPOKEN WORD WILL DIE.BEAUTIFUL AS IT MIGHT BE, THE SPOKEN WORD IS AN INEFFECTIVE WAY OF COMMUNICATION, INSOFAR AS IT CAN ONLY PARTLY CONVEY MEANING. IT IS ALSO AMBIGUOUS AND SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION, COMPARED TO A DIRECT KNOWING.THIS WILL ALSO BE REFLECTED IN THE PHYSICAL MAKEUP OF HUMANITY, THERE WILL BE NO FUNCTIONAL FINGERS…MAYBE EVEN NO FINGERS AT ALL.
how many times have people predicted the end is coming? :)
Dafni, I can see telepathy becoming more prevalent and I think that is because we can’t always trust the written word i.e. historical facts, current news to be told truthfully and unbiased - so people’s “6th senses” will come to be needed and so will develop.
I don’t personally see it as taking over from the written word or verbal communication but I see it as an aide - a means of seeing through the jargon.
