Do you want to learn music theory from a long book or from a video on YouTube that has audio? Do you want to listen to the news on a podcast on the way to work or fold out this physical piece of paper somewhere? Most people feel like this. But we all have this guilt. I have at least. I feel guilty when I watch videos and I listen to podcasts instead of picking up a good old-fashioned book.

You hear the commentary on this. Young people are unable to focus anymore. They need constant dopamine hits from cheap content that they scroll through on their social media apps. They don't get outside their room anymore. Exactly the same thing parents have been saying for 200 years. I have a prerogative idea. What if we're all just tired of overly dense, slow information?

Books with too many pages. Newspaper articles with filler. What if we become much more sensitive to the quality and the conciseness of the content that we consume because we now have infinite choice? What if the current generation of kids are able to learn and absorb information much faster because of technology, not despite it? Is the problem us, or is the problem text?

We still read a lot, right? We just read from many different sources every single day, not just a book and a newspaper. We read our messaging apps and our social media networks and our blog. We listen to long-form podcasts. It's very growing, right? But we still have this idea that books are morally superior in some sense. And even though I'm giving you this talk, I still very much feel it.

I don't know why that is. I'll let someone else do the research on that. But it's definitely very interesting how we psychologically attribute more value to the written word. So why is so much information still text if you really prefer video? It's pretty simple. The answer is cost. Cost in time and cost in money.

Today, we have to pick between the speed and scale of text or the accuracy and engagement of video content. And so there is this underlying economic incentive where only the content and the ideas and the knowledge we deem important enough gets converted into video and audio formats.

And so in the entertainment industry, this means that we get Fast and the Furious 278, rather than avant-garde cinema from film students. In the corporate world, this means that the Super Bowl ad is a video, but the fire safety video is a long, boring document. And This is about to change in a big, big way. AI will change that equation completely.
