The written word isn't going away; it is used in every walk of life.

 

Learning to write proficiently so that others can understand you is critical.

 

Also, using your writing skills to take useful notes is one of the most productive things you can do, regardless of the task at hand.

 

Writing things down – taking notes – helps us remember what we hear, see, or read when we're learning something new, or trying to remember something specific.
