There are four elementry skills that must be mastered in life.
Listening, Reading, Speaking , and Writing are essential for aquiring knowledge.

In my opinion the first communication skill in life is listening. The baby can not speak, but they can hear. The brain will absorb information and save it in memory. Listening attentively is a bsaic skill for learning and aquiring knowledge.

Reading is a powerful tool for success. You must look at and understand basic printed words.
It is essential to know how to interpret what is written or printed.

Speaking requires you to convey thoughts, opinions, or emotions orally.
My mother always told me to think twice and speak once.

Writing requires you to express your thoughts using letters, words, or symbols.
Paper with an instrument such as a pen or pencil can be used.

We can not allow high technology to alter our powers for greatness.
