Usage of "seem as though"

I wrote the following sentence while I was writing an essay. Nevertheless, I'm not sure about the usage of "seem as though". What I wanted to mention through the sentence is though images can replace written texts in the advertisement and entertainment industries, they cannot do the same in the education industry. However, I feel it is not appropriate to use "to achieve the same" in the following sentence, though I wrote it as I didn't find any alternative. Therefore, I would really grateful if someone could let me know whether there is any other way to paraphrase "to achieve the same" to in line with the the meaning of the sentence.

In spite of the fact that images seem as though have the potential to replace written texts in the advertisement and entertainment industries, it would be next to impossible to achieve the same in various education sectors.
