My mum always read us fairy tales. Almost every evening. It is indeed different process than consuming a story with visuals already there ready.
Something strange I've noticed. After joining Steemit and beginning creating myself again and using my imagination more, it is harder for me to enjoy a film or TV series than before? It just falls flat and I get bored easily and my mind wanders places where I could have taken things differently. Or? It is just that films and TV series are getting more shitty and flat. Haha!
No, you are outgrowing them in my opinion (they are getting worse too) as you are ranging wider in your mental travels, so what is produced for the masses is no longer engaging.
