Ali -- don't be so dogmatic

Language acquisiton studies -- even of Chinese -- show that most language learners use phonetic strategies more often than visual strategies in learning language -- thus the success of phonics rather than look-say or whole language in learning to read. I think the preferred view is that writing and printing, as grand as they are, really interfere with communication by interrupting the speaker => hearer channel with complications (e.g. speaker => text => reader => hearer.) Even when remote speaker and hearer are masters of the same spoken language they may not now communicate unless they are also masters of the common written language. Voice input to computers allow the processing of the input into other languages (like the mathematics example). I think it is possible that with ten years of software and hardware processors we will speak into our wearable intelligent phones to anyone or anything which will quickly train (seconds) to understand us and answer back.
