I realized now that I hate videos. It would take me ten minutes to actually find the reason from each of your sources, while I could skim writing and get to the answer in seconds.
Now I want to know why that's wrong but don't want to spend ten minutes getting refraction explained to me beforehand...
- TeMPOraL 6y agoHence the superiority of text + images (or better yet, interactive diagrams and simulations) over video. In a sense, video is dimensionally reduced compared to an article. The information is serialized onto time axis. Whereas with articles, the information is serialized onto a spatial axis (usually vertical). A spatial axis supports rapid access, and viewing multiple point simultaneously, in a way that temporal axis doesn't.
- StavrosK 6y agoI agree, but a video has much higher bandwidth (because of the images and audio). The problem is that YouTube optimizes for time watched, so we get long videos and no indexes. I wouldn't have minded a "crux of the video is at N:NN-M:MM".
