Images instead of text

Information in a text format all but disappears, giving way to its visual embodiment. First, newspapers went out of business, having, predictably, lost the battle with the Internet. They have disappeared in developed countries. Books are going to face the same fate soon. People’s ability to perceive textual information worsens: electronic gadgets have taught them to visualise, which is easier for comprehension. Educational programs are based on visual information, which makes them more primitive and shallow. An in-depth education on the basis of textual information has become a rarity, available only to the rich - it has strengthened the stratification of society according to education and intellect.

monkeymanwasd123 people still print out stuff in order to read it in their own homes. books wont all have been destroyed by then and books would be a novelty or a way to avoid using electricity to reread something a thousand times. reading is faster than listening to many people talk expecially if you have an extention like swift read that only shows you one word at a time. its also easier to "rewind" a book to a certain page, ive regularly found myself only a few pages away or looking directly at the paragraph i was seeking. growing the materials needed for books isnt so expensive in a greenhouse that this would be the case. this is a link to people making paper out of algae https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC1aPsCJS5U&ab_channel=AndalusianStorie

Frank Junior Caron Before being able to understand an image, you get to have to learn alphabets, then words, then structures, then naming, to fully understand the complexity of an image. OFC appealing to senses does works, but it works only if they've got the referents before through peers

Kevin Culli Communication via text is much more efficient than images, conveying a larger degree of thought than a single image or even a video in a much smaller physical space and with much, much less bandwidth used in transmission and display. For this reason, I can't see textual communication replaced (if at all) until much, much later in the future, when thought transmission becomes possible. My best guess for that timeframe would be post-3000, if humans are still around by then. Even then, such an advance would also face some major social and cultural hurdles before being implemented in a widespread fashion.

Albert Jackinson Visualization will increase, yes. But text disappearing? No. That is not possible. Reading and understanding text is too ingrained in our society and our species. This is not going to happen anytime soon. Text is the foundation for everything...even pictures and videos! You need to read text to understand visual information. Reading and writing are not going away anytime soon.

Owen Shaughnessy Meh, I don't think so. You need to be able to read and write to be able to create more of these systems. If anything, the education system is going to heavily emphasize text based learning. I can't type pictures. I type with letters. Letters make words. Words make sentences. If I can phrase it easily like that, I think we'd still be able to understand what it is in the future.
