Is the post literate, visually focused generation, a separate culture?

I think language and its structure does affect in the way of thinking.
In western languages people use a lot of verbs - an action is described. Whereas in many Asian languages a lot of nouns (substantives) are used - a picture is painted. This has been noticed e.g. in the way how newspapers describe fast sports events. In the west, the story tells from where to where the ball is going to, whereas in the East, the picture of where each player and the ball are located.
