Like, I feel like, books, its just a bunch of description that never truely paint a scene.
In a movie or TV show, you see exactly what the scene is, exactly what is happening. I mean, of course, sometime they cut corners and cut of parts of a book, but otherwise, its more easily conveyed.
Like the popular saying, a picture is worth a thousands words. But I’d say: a video is worth a million pictures.
Are we only comparing the best of the best in each? Because both can be great in their best form.
But if I had to pick one and lose the other, for the good of society, I can’t imagine the videos are helping more than the written word is helping.
For example, we’ve only had 1 president in the USA since television who was shorter than 5’11.5", Jimmy Carter. We refuse to elect short people now that we can see them.
