You need a lot more focus to read an article.
Something about video, pulls our focus, and we don't have to put in the effort.
But, I like to focus, and get deep into subjects. And for that, you need the written word. A book easily turns into a mini-series, and it still doesn't get across all the information.
The mediums that we have available to us today are great, and becoming greater. And each one has its pluses and minuses. Like with comics you can show the facial features, the expression. And, that is conveyed in one second, instead of using an entire paragraph to tell about the posture, and the frown, and the bunched eyebrows.
On the other hand, if you are trying to convey the similarities of two concepts... good luck trying to draw that.
In a sense, that's true. Although with video, I find myself struggling to absorb ANYthing unless Every. Single. Moment. Is. Interesting. I zone out and then have to go back and rewatch. With writing, I get it the first time... but that may also be my age and what I grew up being used to.
