In other words, the intensive propagation of written materials would force the readers to become more analytical, more critical and more selective in their reading choices.
Also in the context of internet and hi-tech developments, the form of presenting the pieces of writing would also be expected to suffer a series of changes. Specifically, the written words would be expected to be clearer and easier to browse through, so that they are better selected. Also, to increase their relevance, they would be expected to integrate more visual aids. In such a setting, it is expected that writing in the future would be characterized by a change in the ratio of words to images in favor of more images (Horn, 2001).

Future of Capitalism Current Economic Crisis according to Schumpeter and Keynes A justification of the economic crisis can be precisely explained by shedding light on the perspectives of famous economists. The information gained through this method will not only be informative but will also motivate further research.
