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.
Not sure if “Tik Tok” really represent’s “video media”.
That’s like saying “tweets” are “writings”.
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.
