Oscar Wilde's "Life imitates art.."

Before TV, movies and things to watch, visual stimulation, perception, patterning or... I'm not sure what to call it,there was reading. I personally, I NEED TO READ, I FEEL EMPTY OTHERWISE.

Are we limiting ourselves by not doing one or the other? Some say it is easier to watch, less demanding on the person? Some say they hate reading, hate reading?
