I see a
growing trend with the sites where I go for news. More and more the articles
are replaced by links to videos, or the news itself is relegated to video form.
While I am certainly guilty of whiling away a good deal of time on Youtube
watching videos, I find I prefer the written articles. I can read an article
far faster than a video can present the information to me. Time is already
precious, so I don’t need to sit and wait for a video to load up and then go at
a glacial pace to get to the specific information I wanted.
I can’t
change this trend, I know, but I find myself clicking on fewer news stories
that interest me because they rely solely on video.
