I don't believe speech or text is the future of communication. Videos and images are much better candidates, but they will need to be augmented with something else.
I believe that we'll see a new visual language arrive soon enough, and it will be adopted faster than any previous language in history by generation Z (and the next). I suspect needs in AR will lead to the design of such a language. I wouldn't be surprised to see it prove the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis.
