Information Visualization - Despite increases in computing power

 "Information Visualization" Please respond to the following:

1. Despite increases in computing power and network bandwidth, many user interfaces are still largely text oriented, with a few icons and illustrations. Discuss at least three reasons why text-oriented interfaces are still the most common.  
2. Identify the tool you would be most likely to use in a design project and explain why you selected it.
