The importance of video

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. If one static picture can say so much...imagine what a moving picture with sound can do.  That is what I think of when I think of the importance of video.  Video allows the eyes and ears to work together to form a story in the viewer's mind.  Video makes it possible for someone to become engulfed in a new world and attached emotionally to a character within seconds.  This can be done with books too, and while it is true that reading stimulates your mind, I believe that videos not only stimulate your mind, but your world.
