Question

What do you think is better to gain knowledge- Reading books or Watching educational television programmes?

Answer 1

I believe both are good the fact either are being considered surprises me. i enjoy reading over television myself.

Answer 2

Either on there own can be a great source of learning, but combine a little of the two and there is no better mix :). Reading books can give you facts...say for example lions in africa, they can tell you average weight height ect, but a t.v program can show you what they are like in their natural enviroment..so mix em up :D

Answer 3

Depends on your learning style. Personally, for me, I learn better by reading. If I watch it on TV, I forget what I watched a few hours later.

Answer 4

i say reading books because in my experience, educational television is significantly monotonous.

Answer 5

limit TV time and get out into the world so that you can experience it.  books are a wonderful way to increase knowledge.

Answer 6

BOOKS! You can read interesting books.

But you can watch BORING educational channels.

Answer 7

Do not be mis led. There is no way you will get more 'education' by watching T.V.

It is just  easy to recline and let the T.V. 'do it' to you..

Answer 8

Umm, both, but I would probly choose the Tv stuff, cuz if you get a boring book, that is TORTURE!!!! Umm, and with TV, you can actually SEE it, which is worth a MILLION words!!!!

Answer 9

As long as the information s accurate it shouldn't  matter where you get it.

Answer 10
