Simplistically, Watching television is a reactive form of being entertained. Reading books is a proactive function plus expands the readers literary skills. and over 900,000 people watch over 4 and a half hours of television a day most people under age of 2 years old should not watch any type of television cause it may cause a disfunction in there brain and may cause them to have mental disfunction
Books are far better than tv as with a book you are using your imagination to visualize the scene, but with tv it is already there so your brain doesn't visualize the image.

To be honest, I wonder why you would say this! I like books better then TV, well sometimes I have to admit. I get a bit lazy and watch TV instead. Maybe that's why some people like TV better then books. But I think books have more detail, so its better!
In terms of education value yes.
Some people think that books are better than TV for a variety of reasons. A few might be that it is better for your eyes, it allows you to use your mind more, by imagining the characters and their actions, and you can carry books around! (Although you can carry around an iPod or something similar with TV shows on it.)
Definately books when they make a book in to a tv show or movie they leave a lot out usually some of the best parts aren't in the movie or show!!!!!
In the books, you will find out every four books, but in the TV show, I don't know. I like the books better...
people do say t.v. rots your brain
Yes. The books are very different and better. I love both. I saw the tv show first, loved it, then got the books. loved them more!
You don't get smarter by reading books -- you become better informed/educated. You can become better informed by going to school, reading informative magazines/periodicals (this does not include fluff magazines like People, Hollywood Insider, TV Guide, etc), going to museums.
Because books don't tell you the weather that is coming your way. If you have a tornado watch going on in where you live, how would you know? Would reading a regular paper book tell you a tornado's coming for you?
well watching TV makes u lazy SO that is bad well personally i think reading books are better than watching TV and books are educational
