Reading a book for pleasure...or watching a tv show for pleasure. I see nothing different between the two. But you never hear a tv watcher respond to question about what book he's reading..."oh...I don't reaaad books, I watch tv".  |
I think our brain has to work extra to create an imaginary scene while reading a (fiction) book according to the situation presented in text, whereas a video game presents the already conceived images, making the process simpler to adopt by one's mind. Therefore it makes it more engrossing and captivating than books, perhaps.
Brains tend to find the shortest route.
