I agree with you one hundred percent.

But I also know a decent amount about the failure of literacy education in the US in the past 20+ years, so I'm not surprised that many people in the younger generations prefer video. For too many of them, reading is a chore.

Hell, I know plenty of people in my own generation who will tell you they haven't read a novel since high school like it's a point of pride.
