Fair call.
How much does the book convey during an hour or so of reading? The same time as it takes to watch the film.
The problem (when it occurs) is not with the medium itself, but the length of TIME given to the film.[/QUOTE]and? I thoiught the original argument you were putting forth was how much better TV was, not how short it was
When I read a book I plan to read it, not skim it in an hour to match a film [/QUOTE]Yes but you're comparing apples to oranges this way. It's not an even comparison. The amount of time is crucial. How much is convey in one minute of film, next to one minutes reading worth of writing?
