televised broadcasts and videos have an inherent advantagein this respect. Thus the
speaker's claim has some merit when it comes to arts education and to learning about modern
and current events.
However, the speaker overlooks several respects m which books are inherently superior to
television as a medium for learning. Watching television or a video is no indication that any
significant learning is taking place; the comparatively passive nature of these media can

render them ineffectual in the learning process. Also, books are far more portable than
television sets. Moreover, books do not break, and they do not depend on electricity, batteries,
or access to airwaves or cable connections---aU of which may or may not be available in a
given place. Finally, the effort required to read actively imparts a certain discipline which
serves any person well throughout a lifetime of learning.
The speaker also ignores the decided tendency on the part of owners and managers of
television media to ffiter information in order to appeal to the widest viewing audience, and
thereby maximize profit. And casting the widest possible net seems to involve focusing on the
sensational---that is, an appeal to our emotions and baser instincts rather than our intellect and
reasonableness. The end result is that viewers do not receive complete, unfiltered, and
balanced information, and therefore cannot rely on television to develop informed and
intelligent opinions about important social and political issues.
Another compelling argument against the speaker's claim has to do with how well books and
television serve their respective archival functions. Books readily enable readers to review and
cross-reference material, while televised broadcasts do not. Even the selective review of
videotape is far more trouble than it is worth, especially if a printed resource is also available.
Moreover, the speaker's claim carries the implication that all printed works, fiction and
non-fiction alike, not transferred to a medium capable of being televised, are less significance
