From my understanding of why to read, as well as the substitute for reading.
The benefits and nature of reading:
The benefits are obvious, increasing knowledge and experience, exercising people's ideas and upgrading their professional skills.

Will watching film and television works the same effect as reading books?
Film and television works on the basis of the re-processing, the advantages are interesting, do not want to read some time some dull, the disadvantage is the limitation of the expression of film and television works: Can not complete, delicate display of the text of the wonderful place.

The essence of reading is to cross space and time communication, if you have the opportunity to face-to-face communication is certainly better, especially with excellent, thoughtful people to communicate.

So, we develop good habits.
