In fact software becomes less and less graphical than it was before. The
reason for that is that the area where software is used grows engulfing
things like embedded, communication, control etc, where no user is directly
involved. This new software has no UI and most of it will never have any.

Even interactive software is expected to become less graphical when used in
new areas of expansion like mobile etc. E.g. the gas pedal of a car uses a
tactile feedback, rather than display.
