And you can use a TV to read books, but nobody does.

Every technology has ways it can be used, and ways it wants to be used. This one wants to be used in a way that produces outcomes we won't like.

I think what you are describing is covered by either an E reader or the giant collection of how-to explantions on YouTube?

		Videos aren’t books, and ereaders aren’t TVs. The book/written word is also a technology that has preferences on how it’s used and transformations that it imposes on its users, and they’re much different than those of TV or computers.
