What has given you the idea that the only viable 'Encoder' is written language? Voice or (depending on the bandwidth performance of a given area) video could do the job just as well, at least initially.
Is the Internet not the best (or at least one of the best) medium for the learning of the 'encoders' necessary for wider use?
- veddox 11y agoI never said that the written language is the only encoder possible. However, I am sure you agree that it is by far the most common on the Internet. Even to navigate YouTube you need to read the buttons/know what to search for! Furthermore, even if we take sufficient bandwidth to watch videos/hear audio for granted (which is a large technical problem in itself), we are still left with the problem that you first need to produce material in a language that the people actually understand (which is, all too often, not English or French or any other major language!). > Is the Internet not the best (or at least one of the best) medium for the learning of the 'encoders' necessary for wider use? In theory perhaps, but in practice? How many people do you know of that have learnt how to write and read using the Internet?
