You see, writing is the way to record history for future reference. For example, story-telling was important to the griots of North Africa. It's how they passed on stories. Scribes, people who know the letters of the alphabet (It takes you 20 years to learn the full alphabet. It's almost like Chinese, but much more confusing) and you have to be scholarly to learn something like that.
