A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in

dense fog, a pilot must

use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining

speeds of

approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic

principle of radar is

exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the

walls helps a person

determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound

waves. Radio

waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out

a short burst of

radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By

determining the time it

takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance

between the radar set

and other objects. The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and

ranging”. “Ranging” is

the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of

critical importance to

pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather

systems and storms.

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real

than speech. A

little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language.

Human beings have

been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; but they

have been talking for

much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings.

When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly.

Even today

there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well

before we learn to write;

any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a

normal human being

cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write.

In the past many

intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who

speak languages with

writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills

do so only

imperfectly.

To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter. One

advantage writing
