Viewing Skills
In the old days, viewing was pretty passive. People just sat on their couches and stared at their TVs. The only time they interacted was to adjust the “rabbit ears” for better reception.
Now, viewing is often quite active. Internet articles provide many links and interactives to choose from. Reality shows ask audiences to vote on their phones. And video games require intense attention and quick reactions.
Bring that same focus and engagement to all your viewing. Think carefully about websites, videos, documentaries, news shows, and commercials. Don’t just accept what they say.
Yes, view, but also think!
