Oh, come on. Reading a book's as active as watching TV or YouTube. You're still being fed substance by somebody else. All of these have the potential to teach you, but none of them truly involve you.

True, but the quality of TV is amazingly low.

There are a lot of good books out there that deserve to be read and not a lot of TV deserving to be watched.
