weblinks I dislike

The ones that are only video, no text.

When there’s text involved, you can decide to read it carefully, skim it, go back and start from the beginning, reread sentences you’re not sure you got the first time.

When video is involved, however, you are the prisoner of a pacing chosen by someone else, and which may not be working for you.

This is probably why I’ve never been able to become much of a cinema fan. You have to sit there the whole time, watching the film exactly as the filmmaker decided to set it out. You can’t afford to lose concentration or think for a few seconds, because then you’ll miss something. It works for some people, but I’d rather be able to walk around an object, rewind a video, put a book down and then pick it back up again, or anything that allows for variable approaches and variable attention spans.

But it must work well for some people, learning via video.
