Watching a movie is like having someone explain every step to you as whereas to reading you have to do the work and understand on your own. Videos are much more easily understood as whereas reading you have to comprehend on your own. Videos are more explanatory, so the human brain takes in more information. Sometime reading can be a longer process for our brain to comprehend.
On videos you can watch more quickly while your brain takes in more information to process more quickly and efficiently. Learning harder things is much more easily and faster with videos as compared to reading. When you want to learn and keep the information in your brain for a long time than it would best to pick up a book and read it.
It’s harder to understand the books but once you do understand that is when our brain will take the information and store it better for the rest of your life. Reading is also better for your brain so you don’t get illnesses, whereas to watching videos it can cause illnesses. Scientific studies are proven people who read are less likely to inherit Alzheimer’s disease. Whereas to watching videos you could get seizures or other problems including vision problems.
