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?
The more the world gets complex, the busier the people become. Thus, these days, efficient communication skill is essential. In this essay, I’ll explain why I agree with the given statement that the image is more powerful tools to communicate than the written word in modern days.
First, the image has the benefits of the time-efficient and ease of understanding. Suppose that explains the market share of a certain product. When we explain it through the word, we have to write at least three or four lines, comparing the share of our product with the competitor’s product. However, through the pie chart, we can draw a pie chart explaining whose share is it. In this way, we don’t have to put too much effort to write and read them The pie chart helps us to understand the information at once.
Second, according to the Forbes article that I read, most people these days feel tired when they face tons of lines to read. The trend that most people rely on Youtube rather than Blog supports this idea.
Some people might say the accuracy is the most important feature in modern communication. In this context, the written word is more accurate than the image to communicate. Because the word is less likely to understand differently by allowing a few interpretations. But in a rapidly changing society, I think time effectiveness and ease of understanding are the most crucial figures. And the image is the appropriate tool to meet these needs. Also with some explanation and instruction, the problem of the image caused by the lack of accuracy can be solved. To sum up, for these reasons, I think the image is a more powerful tool to communicate than the words these days. (291)
