I'm pretty sure that the rest of the world has not moved on from text. Text
still makes up by far the bulk of human communication. It's compact (one
second of a Youtube video requires about the same bandwidth as about 7000
words), it can be easily searched, edited, translated, the presentation can
be changed to suit the reader, and more. When precision of meaning is
important, text is still the winner except in a few specialist areas, such
as technical drawings, and even they still make extensive use of text.
