 +<callout type="​default"​ title="​On the salience of video and pictures">​ //"​We'​ve been reading words for several hundred years, listening to words for thousands, and learning from images for millions of years. We, as a species, are great with images. We can interpret / absorb an image 50x faster than words, as we've had a lot more practice with visuals. Just as music is cemented into our being in the late teen years, the images of our early childhood become fixed into our gray matter."//​ –- Scott Galloway ​
