Why is Literacy so important?!

Why is Literacy so important?..or is it important?!

I think literacy is very important.  It's important to understand the world we live in.  If you are not literate you will have no idea what's going on in the world right now.  You need literacy to be able to read newspaper.
Example: You go to some place new and you can't read the signs or directions.  You will be totally lost.
Another example is: You go to a grocery store.  You are looking for something but you can't read sign.  You will need someone to guide you each and every time.  After you have whatever you wanted, you go to the cashier. The cashier tries to trick you.
That's why literacy is very important.  You need literacy in everyday life.  You have a higher risk of crime and a lower chance of getting a job.  Literacy shows you the way of living.
