抄録

To achieve this purpose, The Information Distribution Census published by the Japanese government was analyzed. The analysis revealed a rather unexpected reality. In terms of consumption, text information has grown faster than audio and visual information in the past 20 years. Along with the transition from conventional to electronic media, the relevance of textual information continues to grow.
