It's really technology to blame...IMO..

I am guilty of beeing one of the types of people who is a visual person. I learn better, faster, and easier when i can acctually see something being done, when i can listen and watch what someone else is doing.

When i'm learning a new computer program, i want the book with the most screenshots. when i'm reading a tutorial, i want the tutorial with the most pictures. Not because i hate reading, but because i learn much better by acctually seeing what is being talked about.

And it's a pitfall...when you're reading nothing but words, you must create the scene and everything in it. It does great work for your imagination. I find myself struggling to imagine things when it comes to artwork, and maybe it's because i don't really enjoy reading......?
