Question of the Day

A recurring theme in this class is the negative effect of the written word. This brings to mind a question: What would the world be like if we had somehow invented audio and video recording instead of writing? Obviously this would be very challenging, since this technology is very recent in comparison, so suspend your disbelief and think about it. Also, I'm not sure if this would also remove mathematical writing as very basic forms of this began before the written word.
