is reading a particular piece better than watching it on television?

Well it depends on person because a person may have more consontration on various things.

Media-It is under this broad heads both reading and observing the same in televised form comed under. So comparing these two may outplace the significance of reading. It is seen that books of some literary pieces are over simplified in its televised form and the total spirit of the same get distorted. Yes, some reading of reportive nature may find itself in its true form in visuals, but reading is after all synchronization of an art, in ones brain, and he himself can grasp it in his own way- this must be the true value in reading a piece, than to visualise in its televised form.

Reading focuses your brain to specific task..but watching it hypnotises the brain.However for some things its better to watch and learn , but reading is a good exercise for brain...so read and make your brain healthy..

I don't know for sure with one is really better. I just prefer books over the movie version. A lot gets changing when they turn a book into a movie and I don't normally like the changes.
