The Written Vs. The Spoken Word

The “spoken word” has been a source of power since the beginning of time. Many men have died or even killed in an attempt to attack or defend this “spoken word”. Saints, scholars, philosophers and even heroes alike such as Moses, Einstein, Plato, Aquilles and many others have used the spoken word to part seas, start and end wars, make society progress and even move mountains. How powerful the spoken word is!

And now, the enormous power of the “spoken word” has been captured on recorded books, books on tape, CD’s and even audio books online. Real spoken word history has come to life through technology and the use of popular and modern audiobooks. The written word is stale and stagnant, emotionless and lacking in vitality. The spoken word, on the other hand, engenders deep feeling, makes life more vivid, and is truly vast and inspirational. 

In the early days of man, the spoken word was the only means by which to transfer knowledge to future generations. Story tellers and historians were skilled in passing on learning through the spoken word. The problem lied in the accuracy of the spoken word once it passed through the mouths of many. This led man to invent writing and replace the once dominant spoken word with an accurate yet emotionless written word. 

Now technology has solved the problems of old. Man is reverting back to the spoken word yet conserving accuracy. Recorded books (Books on tape, CD or Audiobooks) preserve the feeling of a vivid and alive “spoken word” yet promote the accuracy and objectivity of its written counterpart. And best of all, you can now easily download audio books from numerous web sites such as audible.com, nextup.com etc. or buy them directly from your favorite bookstore. You can even get free audiobooks. What are you waiting for? Recorded books are everywhere!
