I think that watching t.v. is more popular than reading books is because people are lazy nowadays. Everyone would rather sit around and watch t.v. because they are tired and they would rather just relax. Also, people on t.v. try to grab everyone's attention to make things interesting. I think that for some people, reading is a boring thing. In books, all you see are words in them. In my opinion, that's boring. I, for example, have a hard time trying to understand it. I always have to watch the movie or show before I read the book. When you're watching t.v., everything is more interesting. Some books are turned into movies and that's how they grab a reader's attention. People nowadays are lazy and would rather do something that involves laying down. In general, for most people, visual representations help them understand things easier.

Your interpretation on this subject is so true! I too would rather watch a movie to a book first. Also because you can put a face to the people in the book when you are reading. I personally am pretty lazy so, I agree that that is why people would rather watch tv than read a book.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good view on American society today. I hate reading and would much rather watch tv. However, I don't think that this is true for all societies. Some countries don't even have television, all they have are books.
ReplyDeleteSo true, books take too much thinking. After a long day I would much rather relax and watch T.V. than have to contemplate what a book is saying.
