People learn more by watching television than by reading books. Agree or disagree?
It is true how books encourage creativity and intelligence due to the various genres books offer to its readers. However, people learn more by watching television because the television provides prominent colorful visuals and the news updates incessantly feeds information to its watchers.
It is obvious that the television has a great advantage over books in teaching by its colorful illustrations. With illustrations, learners will process the information in their minds faster and the data will be more memorable due to the striking pictures they see. While as an author of a book will have to be incredibly creative to impress the readers with their words and text. With its colorful visuals, televisions definitely have the upper hand of educating the audience. The famous Discovery Channel is a prime example of a television show that educates its audience quickly and remarkably. The show, with its descriptive narration and high quality pictures, can portray the history of the Civil War within an hour while as it would take a six hours to research everything by books. Therefore, televisions can teach its audience better and more efficiently than books since they lack the distinctive colors and visuals televisions have.
In addition to the television's prominent feature of visuals, televisions also have the news channel which feeds the audience with recent global events within every 12 hours. This instant service is unparalleled to the lagging speed of publishing books. In order to publish a book, one must write at least 100 pages, cite all sources used for research, edit any mistakes or errors, and finally have a company promote it on the bookshelf. This cycle alone takes more than a month or even a year which by then, the news would have broadcasted over 150 news reports. News channels like the BBC updates their news almost instantaneously, full of verified facts and interesting events. The conspicuous advantage to quickly update watchers with new information cannot be simulated with books. Therefore, people would absolutely learn more by watching television.
In conclusion, televisions have the supremacy in educating their audiences over books due to their colorful visuals and immediate updates in news. (360)
