and Disadvantages of information literacy?

Advantages:

Easier to communicate certain information in certain conditions
People don’t need to have good memory they can just rely on reading/writing
People being literate just looks better to some people

Disadvantages:

Consumes many resources (every year more than 4 billion trees or 35% of trees are used for producing paper)
Linked to poor vision
Linked to poor health (nausea)
Don’t need to be literate for survival, unnecessary and unused in many conditions (can still learn the majority of things using oral language (audio), images, video)
Possibly causes bad memory (prior to literacy becoming popular people use to orally recite hundreds of pages now in modern times many find it difficult to remember an eight item grocery list)
Seems that the human brain was never specified for literacy…notice that we’re all born illiterate, automatically understanding oral language at early ages without being taught to but our brain doesn’t automatically understand written language
Causes people to not talk much and become bad speakers, a lot of people can read/write well but can’t speak well, stutter, mumble, don’t speak clearly
Doesn’t really solve any problem (Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Trinidad & Tobago have extremely high literacy rates and also very high homicide rates)
