Well there's these things called books.... They are like TV for smart people

Robert Redford
About This Quote

"Books are like TV for smart people" is a common saying where a person makes a comparison between books and television. Moreover, they are both devices that deliver content to the viewer. This idea is important as it reminds people that reading is a very different experience from viewing a film or having a video conversation. In order to enjoy the benefits of reading, you have to go through the process of actually putting one book aside and reading another one. You have to choose to immerse yourself in a world others have created.
