Ours is the only species to be able to communicate ideas to others through a written language. This ability also allows humans to express their creativity, which is another characteristic that is typically human. The recording and exchange of ideas using the written word is an important part of how we pass information on from one generation to the next. The average time spent reading at various ages is given in the table below.
