The earliest critique of the invention of writing...
Socrates warns his companion Phaedrus that writing will only make memory weaker
Socrates
Plato (370BC), 274e-275a
"This invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them.... writings are silent; they cannot speak, answer questions, or come to their own defence."
