I remember when we -told- stories to people. Now we just write them down in books. How can you understand the story if you don’t hear it directly from the author? *grumble grumble* Writing is destroying society.

The reason we know of these complaints is that archeologists discovered ancient clay tablets where the complaints were written (presumably by somebody of the opposite opinion).
