Observe:
This chapter is on the breakout of the visual and how images are taking over our world. We see visuals more than text and even hyper-visuals more than hypertext. This is especially obvious is how little text is in advertising compared to visuals. Though text is not completely absent yet, there is debate over if it will be one day. There are already more electronic magazines than books, and even newspapers are getting a look more image based and similar to a webpage.
Infer:
The main point of the prezi is that in this day and age we see visual images way more than text. This argument suggests that the world is changing from a place of text to a place of images. They allow reading to be less linear and more “tree-like” and can easily jump to another page, or tangent, on a specific part of the main page’s information. The point is, that soon visuals will take over text, at least when it comes to sending messages like email. This is relevant to our lives today because we are living in a media age and need to be aware. We need to know for future job hunting and even relationships what to use to connect with people better: the visual.
Question:
Why do you think visuals apply more to and connect better with people today?
How do advertisers play on our love of the visual?
With the visual so prevalent, why do most educators still insist on pushing text as the primary form of communication and assignments?
