The rise of streaming services like Netflix and Hulu certainly have more of us glued to our television sets than ever before, but has all that extra screen time come at the expense of reading? Before ditching our beloved books for the next binge, consider some of the merits of reading over watching something on screen.
With you wherever you go. If you have time to kill on your daily commute there’s nothing quite like having a good book by your side, or if you’d prefer ebooks, an entire library at your disposal. The batteries on your tablet or e-reader will certainly last a whole lot longer than when you’re streaming, and you don’t have to rely on data to have a good read by your side! Driving? You can still enjoy audiobooks while keeping your eyes on the road.
A world of pure imagination. A good book leaves a lot open to interpretation. You can paint landscapes yourself and imagine characters any way you want them to be as opposed to what a show producer wants you to see. Let your imagination run wild and be every bit as much a part of the narrative as the story itself.
Easier on the eyes. Printed pages and e-ink displays put significantly less strain on the eyes, and unlike tablet and television screens that emanate blue light, books and e-readers have considerably fewer negative effects on sleep.
