Reading as such important as taking necessary medication especialy when one is sick, you know it is good for you,but you prefer to avoid it, WHY?

Not all people are alike!
I have a friend who is really clever and eager to learn new things, but our traditional method of reading-in-order-to-learn make him get scared and sick. He can't stand books (even rather thin ones wink) at all, but can watch movies and memorize even peculiar details successfully (he learned English using this technique). Thus, if I wanted to teach him something I would just need to release a movie or at least clip for him, and he would cope with it better than me, person who is fond of reading.
So everyone has his/her own medication. Yeah? smile

So far the only way to educate oneself is through reading about or listening to the information.

There is no other way. Time might come when a brain transplant will solve the problem of spending time and effort on reading in order to know like in the movie Matrix by simply having a piece of memory containing the needed information installed in a brain allowing the person to know hitherto unknown things without making any delibarate effort to know things in a traditional way by reading.
This time I hope is not far because with the an ever-increasing amount and application of information reading tends to seem sometimes too slow and too time-wasteful not counting the eye-related problems that lot of reading might cause.

Till this invention is industriliazed, anyone who is concerned and/or willing to know things has to content him/herself by reading and/or listening, which isnt usually moe efficient.

The world is beyond our traditional way of reading. Students who use combination of audio/visual materials and traditional way of reading will perform better than those who depend on traditional way of reading.
I am not saying that there is individual difference but it is good to combine modern and traditional way of reading.
