The popularity of documentaries and educational channels on television is rising these days. However, when I really feel like learning about something,I turn off the television and start reading a book on that subject.

For one thing, books are more trustworthy since they are typically only published after having been fact-checked, reviewed, and edited multiple times. This makes them the opposite of television programs, which are often focused solely on entertaining, not educating.I have noticed that many documentaries on TV only present one side of an argument or omit various facts while describing something. Meanwhile, books typically present all sides of an argument or at least are factually correct. This makes books much more educational than television programs.

There are also a limited number of TV programs and documentaries while the number of books in the world is astronomical. This means that books provide more access to information than TV ever could. After I watch documentaries on TV, I never consider myself an expert on a topic. However, by reading five, ten, or even twenty books on a topic, I can gain a more thorough, deeper understanding of the topic and truly become an expert. When I really want to learn,I head to my local library.

There are fewer space limitations in books while TV programs can only give some information in a limited amount of time. This makes most of the information given on TV to be of the superficial kind. My class watched a 30-minute-long documentary on volcanoes the other day. While the pictures and films were nice, I did not really get but basic knowledge of volcanoes because the documentary was too short to provide enough information about volcanoes. When I read one book on them, I learned much more than I did from watching that video. Books definitely have more information than documentaries do.

It should be apparent that television lags behind books as an educational tool since books are more trustworthy, are more abundant in number, and contain more information. Books have been around for a long time, and they will continue to be here in the future. Nothing will replace books as our main learning tools.
