When thinking about modern day communication it is evident that pictograms have seemed to outplace certain words, for example emojis. When thinking back to Lascaux Cave Paintings it is evident that for thousands of years humans have been developing speech through images, and thus why should this alter in the 21st century. Last year the word of the year was actually not a word but the laughing emoji, maybe this suggests a movement into a pictogram area.
