What makes reading archaic? Has short-form video content completely replaced reading functionally? Are there no ideas that 30 second videos can't communicate? What about the other half of reading, writing? Surely you will also need to communicate with more than short grunts sometimes. Where will you find the words? And what about reading just being fun?
