Perhaps long texts will be read in a Romanized form (Pinyin) and characters will be reserved for use in concise international symbologies, much like Japan's ongoing use of kanji? In Japanese, the Kanji are used basically everywhere (and when you are writing, sometimes you wish there were a kanji for a word, so you wouldn't have to write out all the letters. Of course, it's not as bad when you can type it).
