>images need much more storage space than text to convey similar information That is because an image is a collection of bit that attempt to represent reality as it is. It probably is easier to relates blue as a "color archetype" when you literally have a collection of bits that mean literal "blue" all the time. In languages "blue" doesn't always mean the color. Texts are abstractions/coded form of reality. Your mind itself contains the decryption codes to translate text into what it actually means. That decryption code for text apparently is much bigger and harder for a machine to crack than interpreting images. Also, images are bigger than a text file because of the way data is stored. It probaby has nothing to do with the amount of information stored inside. A book about quantum physics can be smaller than an image of a cat for example.
