Most of Project Gutenberg's books are not at my local library. Same for maybe half of the books I find in Brooklyn's Overdrive collection. And then there are a lot of essays I get to with my Kindle that I never would have read without the technology.
So technology did make my reading better -- more diverse, I would say.
Since I rarely watch TV anymore, and only go to the movies a couple times a year, I can't respond to your compelling video comparison.
