Do you think as the internet becomes increasingly faster pure text based and picture based website won't be as popular?

It is possible. I rarely visit website that are mostly text besides mxproject, gamingforce, e-mail and a few other forums. I been spending a lot of time on flash video and audiosites, and online flash/java game sites since I find a lot of the stories I read on blogs kind of repetitive these days.
Just like almost no one besides hardcore techies, system and network administrators, the odd geek uses command prompts for copying and pasting files to another drive since most OS like Windows are graphical based.
I think using Camstatio and Camstudio screencasting software tutorials on "doing tasks on a PC" is great. I can simply record and narrate" and upload my videos to youtube or another free service, and not have to use dumbed down language since most people can follow a mouse and me typing stuff on a video. I read a lot of lousy tutorials in the past on doing stuff in a book when a few seconds or minutes of video tutorial will be better.
Although, I don't see using video or audio to communicate in forums to be a good thing since it will take forever to communicate with others on the same thread. Plus, it will be difficult to moderate tons of Youtube videos with swearing, and naughty stuff.
