READING AND INNOVATION

Dissertations, do not come as videos
Theses, do not come as videos
Economic data, not presented as videos

Propaganda, presented as video
Religion thrives through videos
Demagoguery disseminated as videos

Easier to search the written word than
To remember what the Charlatan said
At the 29th minute of the video

Watching a video involves the
Auditory and visual cortexes
Watching is a passive experience

Reading out involves the
Auditory, visual, and motor cortexes
Reading is an active experience

Countries with reading cultures
Innovate at higher levels than
Countries with video cultures

African countries lag behind the
The rest of the world in reading but
Leads the world in watching videos

Reading nurtures innovation
While watching nurtures indoctrination
When shall Africans start reading?
