I don't really think you've understood my point. The art of writing is thousands of years old, whereas the use of audiovisual media is barely a century old. Widespread use and access to technology that lets you create audiovisual communication and share it is perhaps 15-20 years old. This is extremely recent, considering that spoken language (which became writing) was itself in development for hundreds of thousands of years.
The first writing by cavemen was probably scribbles, too. I'd give video another thousand years before writing it off.
And to be clear: I am a writer by profession myself. So I'm definitely on the side of "writing is important." I'm merely acknowledging that technology trends are changing.
