Take pictures, help the economy.

Today we were discussing textbooks, and headings, captions, pictures, bold face, yada yada, and what looked exciting. The point was brought up that wow, someone didn't even notice until they were in high school that pictures, captions, and text all went together, even making it less confusing. Amazing.
Of course though, the textbook companies want to make the book look appealing so that teachers will buy them. Pictures, graphs, weirdo highlighty stuff, you name it, teachers want to confuse their students. Of course, but what do the textbook companies want? The answer- they want money. So make the textbooks look pretty with pictures, and get money. Why buy the textbooks? So that the textbook companies won?t go out of business (Remember, I am just stating a conversation) Textbook companies don?t want to go out of business.
After this highly amusing though weirdly useless conversation, I started thinking. If the textbook companies go out of business, that is bad for the economy. Therefore, pictures are good for the economy. So that?s what I learned today: Pictures in textbooks, those annoying, distracting pictures, are good for the economy.
