Interestingly I did not learn to read and write until about year 4-5
when I started playing the Sierra adventure games with the natural
language prompts.

By year 6-7 I was reading stuff like a fat compilation book of stuff by
HG Wells and Ben Elton's Stark.

I see what you mean though imagine where we could be if everyone used
workflow processing, collaborative calendaring, change  and risk
management and recorded everything useful in knowledge bases.
