Textual Interfaces Are Better

Most UI elements today are accessed as icons to be tapped or clicked upon, and I wonder if that's really the best idea we have. Nearly every UI concept can be boiled down to a word or two, and if not, logic can branch from there the way our own human language can. Text is just better in a lot of ways--our eyes just pass it to our brains faster. It's more accessible output in every sense of those words.
