I wish I liked "neat videos" in place of news stories. I just don't. Takes too long. Not enough worthwhile content.

@Idoubtit totally agree. Since when has passively watching videos superseded reading and being able to extract meaningful information for ones self?

@ScottMortimer My kids hate reading. I'm crushed. I have always had books around. I even wrote one. Still they don't get it and sit and watch screens with videos for hours. Processing words is so much more involved than listening or watching.

@Idoubtit yeah, I understand. Funny thing is my son us a total YouTube nerd, but my daughter is a big reader. Keep hoping she'll rub off on him.
