It could be habit from the wiring of their brain being setup for video from social media.
But following your idea of finding a reason that assumes it's actually more beneficial learning from video than text for people in that class, you need to consider two alternatives.
The first is that they are better at video, but the second is that they are worse as long form text.
- rco8786 5y agoOh yea, I totally assume that they know what they’re doing. It’s just clear that I’m not wired that way. I didn’t grow up with videos accessible to the point of ubiquity like Z has.
- hackerfromthefu 5y agoI guess my point is that it's possibly/probably an objectively worse way of ingesting information. It's always going to be faster to skim text to find what you need that watching a video on high speed.
- rco8786 5y agoBut is it? That seems “obvious” to us “old” millennials+. But is an entire generation all independently wrong, and doing the slow thing? If so, why? Is there evidence supporting this that we can look at? All genuine questions, I don’t know the answers. But there’s something interesting happening there, that I do know.
