(or, actually, the "mini-series" of films, which is broken into parts -- "episodes"). You can't do two things at once, like reading text on the screen and listening to someone speaking at the same time. It Just Doesn't Work! It has been demonstrated in the laboratory that when you "miss" something, it starts to nag you in the back of your mind, and you lose interest and become distracted, and then stop reading/listening. Notice how the viewership drops off with successive episodes? That could be (I think that it is!) the reason why. Treat the film as simply an audio file, and don't watch the screen at all. You don't need the images to appreciate the film. And trying to read the unnecessary text on the screen will destroy the experience. M. Trust me. It's true! When you read something, do you sometimes suddenly find your attention wandering, and you don't know why? Then go back through the text, and find the thing you missed or that you didn't understand. Read it again, very carefully, then continue forward again from that point. OFF TOPIC -- ETENNE: Will you pay my ticket to where you live? And pick me up at the airport, as I wouldn't even have money for a taxi. I'm almost pennyless. And will you support me until I can find work (which may take a long time, as I'm sick as a dog)? OK -- I promise never ever to talk about categories again. Never, ever! So, do we have a deal? Can I stay with you at your place? I'm a great cook! |
