Clearly the Ideogram is the more advanced form of communication when it comes to language. This is due to the fact that ideas supersede phonetics when it comes to how human beings read and learn. For instance an alphabet, at its most basic level, is simply a collection of ideograms referred to as letters of an alphabet each representing an idea referenced to pronunciation. Consequently, a word is simply a collection or sequence of ideograms that when pronounced in their compound form represent an idea. As a child's or adult's reading ability grows they no longer constrain themselves to the individual letters in a word but see it as a whole thereby reducing a written word to a single recognizable structure; which is basically an ideogram because they skip the phonetic delays speech may exert on thought thereby potentially slowing down intellectual ability and development. Therefore, the brain is naturally converting words into ideograms in order to process the ideas they represent faster, demonstrating how it prefers to learn. If, a sequence of ideas being animated can be recognized in the same way a collection of letters are rapidly recognized as one idea, very high reading speeds can be obtained with visual aids and animation of high quality. Therefore, when it comes to education and learning, it is more likely than not that ideograms that can be accelerated through animation to create faster rates at which ideas a can be processed are the most advanced and ideal methodology for reading and processing ideas. While letters are more ideal for elocution and pronunciation, they may not be ideal for quickly processing ideas beyond vocalization and sub-vocalization. Infographs in IGL are ideograms.
The modern day development of video and computer graphics gives education the capacity to apply animation to written communication and reading culture. The advantage of animation is the potential to exceed conventional reading speeds and the development of animated sequences backed by layers such as sound, rhythm, beat, colour and sequence to enhance memory.

The average person reads about 4 words per second. Since phonetics tends to tether itself to subvocalization, it is possible that this tether also generally slows down the rate at which people think. This may not make them less intelligent, but it may lead to slower times when it comes to arriving at conclusions based on induction, deduction and logic. Faster reading speeds induced by animation force quicker thinking due to the fact that animated infographs exceed the biological capacity for vocalization, which must naturally give way to the rate information is being delivered using animation. IGL sees the potential of having animated reading speeds of up to 20 words or ideas per second and in the case of revision reading, speeds as high as 50 words per second. By being taught to read at faster speeds using animation students should learn to visualize information at these speeds consequently shrinking the time they take to process ideas. There are many advantages to reading using animation.
The first is of course speed. Being able to cover 1,200 to 3,000 words per minute with comprehension entails that students of an IGL programme should be able to cover reading content very quickly. Revision that usually takes days to cover could be done in hours. Imagine a neurosurgeon reading through an entire area of neurosurgery in two hours and being able to recollect an entire years worth of coursework using this process as a means of refreshing his or her knowledge on the subject learned many years ago during undergraduate studies. This information could remain as fresh as it was when it was first learned, many years ago.
Secondly, reading animation sequences specially developed using the many layers of IGL honed over many years from kindergarten upward entails that the capacity to retain memory is significantly enhanced. This is no different from learning the lyrics to a song, the fact that the words are backed by rhythm and sound often means many people will remember the words to a song for the rest of their lives. And even if they do forget, it only takes playing the song a few times for the lyrics to come flooding back. The layers in IGL allow this kind learning experience integrated into any subject.
Thirdly, reading animation using the IGL technique is the kind of advancement the publishers need to not only to sell more books, but to simply get more people reading. The fact that reading is delivered through animated infographs means that the work required to move from word to word is not necessary. Each idea is delivered to the reader who only has to recognize its meaning. Reading in this manner is therefore more effortless, its almost like watching television but with an academic edge. The fact that people can get through books and other literature more quickly and with less effort entails that the demand for books from publishers should increase, which is likely to inevitably encourage more people to write.
