It seems inevitable that the magic of the written word will fade.

But the rule seems to be that the bigger and more life-changing the decision, the less it will seem like a decision at all.

The question is, will we continue to fight what may be a rearguard action to defend universal literacy as a central goal of our education system, or are we bold enough to see what's actually happening to our culture?

I don't know why anyone would use the word inevitable, ... It clearly is not inevitable.

The mystery of the written word;It bequeaths a different meaning every blessed day.

but at this point it seems kind of inevitable or unstoppable.
