With the commonality of COMM-Links, the increased use of Iconic symbols in 2070 society, and availability of Biosoft interface devices, I was wondering if a Generation in 2070 would forgo the use of verbal communications in favor of wireless COMM communications.

Why take the time for long term discussion of rebuilding an engine when the 'Instructor' can simply transmit an exploded 3 dimensional diagram of said engine. Then other discussion can take place to explain differences between the various types of items along the same vein as the subject of study, with according diagrams for reference.

Would it be possible for a group of individuals in 2070 to find verbal communications slow and antiquated? Instead defaulting to a higher speed 'Universal' Iconic Hieroglyphics. New Hieroglyphics could be designed simply by transferring a picture with the new symbol attached, and then agreed upon by the society as a whole.
