Image&video revolution

As we know our far far ancestors communicated with each other by spoken language and body language. Our not very far ancestors may have one more way to communicate, they could write down things on papers, so publish technic let a revolution happen to our world in Victor Hugo's opinion.
Today we have photograph and video recoder,which we can record much more and better thing and feeling and sence than a pen can do. It seems this will change our lifr style and our way to know the world.
Photograph and video recoder can only record images, we just use our eyes to read it. may be one day we should use all our sense .
