If you had a choice between reading about a topic and watching a video on that topic which would you choose? I would choose the video, of course, because I’m a visual learner. But, even if I weren’t, technology is the driving force that dictates the use of high-tech videos. Not only are video-imaging websites popular, they’re fun to watch and educational. Amateur viewers are also making their own videos to put information out on the web. These are sometimes fun and funny to watch. At times, viewers who search the web are suddenly bombarded with pop-up windows containing YouTube videos. So it’s really hard to get around them. Once, I just wanted to find out more about a topic I was interested in, I typed my topic in and a whole slew of YouTube videos were listed. I enjoyed them so much that I lost track of time.

I am also a visual learner so I understand what you are saying. YouTube is a priceless tool for all of us that learn this way, and for those of us that are entertained visually.
There have been many times in my life where after watching a movie someone will say, "I liked the book better", and I think, hmmmmm...maybe I should start reading. The fact that many of us have been in school basically our whole lives at this point, there is so much reading we HAVE to do that reading for pleasure is not often on my list. I have accomplished my goal of being more "literate" by reading "The Notebook" and "Bridges of Madison County", but other than that, on my limited time off from work and school, I would much rather sit on my couch and watch a movie on my brand new HD TV!!
