[paulpauper]

If an alien landed on Earth today, it might assume that reading and writing are our species’ main function, second only to sleeping and well ahead of eating and reproducing.

what about:

watching tv

driving

playing video games

watching porn

watching video online

podcasts/audio books

[PartiallyTyped → paulpauper]

All of them involve reading and/or writing of some kind.
