    In the future people will converse using picture cards. Those with more picture cards shall become rich and prosperous. The rich shall hand down picture cards to their young, ensuring their future, perpetuating the wealth.

    Ultimately the pictures on the cards mean nothing, but they can be traded for soft things, and shiny things. Using words shall be deemed unsavoury, the language of the poor and those lacking in class.
