"The Oxford Dictionary says that if you are illiterate you are two things:
1 unable to read or write
2 ignorant in a particular subject or activity
It is no accident that the English language uses the same word to describe these two things. The inability to read or write automatically ensures one’s ignorance of information. Traditionally, anyone without access to books or school had little hope of thriving in our world. That is what we have always been told, because until now that has always been true."
