In the modern world, the image (photograph or film) is becoming a more powerful way of communicating than the written word. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, people prefer to use media for
communication
rather than writing forms. In my opinion,
although
a vast majority of people prefer
video
and images over written form, the written form of
communication
has not lost its place. Due to the advancement of science and technology, it is more convenient for everyone, especially ordinary society, to take pictures, make videos and share them on the web.
However
, the interest in
this
way of transmission does not limit to the contemporary period.
First
of all,it is not necessary to be educated to understand an
image
or a
video
,
as a result
, books with pictures in them have always been popular among children and adults.
In addition
, learning and using written language requires determination and acquiring knowledge.
On the contrary
, especially these days, capturing and sharing an
image
does not require special knowledge.
Next
, usually, a
picture
or
video
depicts more details than a comment or short text.
On the other hand
, to communicate officially and legally, folk have to be familiar with a written form of
communication
.
For example
, to file a petition to the judiciary, the written word is the only way.
Also
, a long text compared to a
picture
or even a
video
provides a plethora of details. Neither a movie nor a
picture
can compete against a novel,
such
as “War and Peace”, in terms of conveying concepts and emotions. In conclusion, The
image
, namely photographs, film or pictures, is becoming prevalent as a means of
communication
in modern society, mainly because it is easy to understand, and
also
does not need dedicated knowledge to comprehend the
picture
. The written word still has particular importance in supporting the efficiency of using the
image
and can not be abandoned.
