Nice point about distractions. We also have a LOT more practice learning and retaining by reading than we do by listening.

I'm not so sure about that.

Maybe it's different outside of the US but in the US, most of the time you have a teacher talking to a bunch of students with a blackboard. This goes from about age 6 to 18.

Learning is very much audio driven, and text books were used as supplements (and for homework).
