Reading isn't just about being stimulated or having fun. It's a skill and if people don't practice that skill then it atrophies (or it never develops fully in the first place as reflected in poor functional literacy rates).

This is a problem when disinformation is so widespread if people don't have the skill or attention span to understand an issue.

Based on the questions some people ask during movies, Imma say watching is a skill that requires practice as well.
