Best Answer

Reading has lost its appeal to many people for several reasons. To read, you have to think more, and watching television is more of a passive activity. Also, many TV programs have flashy bright colors and action, so it seems more exciting to some people. But it is actually less healthy for your brain than reading.

How did books affect us in the US in the 1960s?

Nearly every movie you see on TV, DVD, etc. were originally from books. The only exception, possibly, was the film "Love Story", that one may have originally been a film...then a book made from that. Many readers & writers got their beginnings from reading paper backs and comic books while in the military (didn't have cell phones or computers back then). Contrary to popular belief; fighting (battles) is NOT common in a war...lots of time to read (paper backs and comic books). Battles (fighting) are usually only minutes long in duration, and come once a month, once a week (if it's a bad week), etc.


Is reading books more fun than watching tv?

For multiple reasons, such as the fact that books can transport the reader into a whole other world, embarking on a journey, making a connection with the main character whilst at the same time expanding one's knowledge and interest in literary techniques. Books don't convince viewers to buy things that they don't need, or that they should lose weight, and that they are ugly, fat, and "uncool". Books also make great travel buddies. Imagine taking a television along on a holiday, lugging it onto a beach while you soak in the sun, when the world of words could be at your fingers!
