When learning a new technical skill, I'm noticing that the time I spend watching videos instead of reading books is growing. But I almost always consume videos at a speed of 1.25x or 1.5x or sometimes even more. I don't think I lose anything by doing this, in fact, I feel I can learn quicker this way, especially if the video is of high quality (I could be wrong). I rather pause a video when I need to think about something than playing it at the original speed. I find that curious and wonder what this means for how we communicate and learn.
Are you doing this also?
