I really really like books actually. There's just something magical about curling up with one in a nice chair and reading all that print. For references, though, it just seems a lot easier to get facts quickly through the Internet. I'd rather do that if I have a big deadline.

But I love reading books themselves.

I prefer books if I'm reading stories/fiction, but I prefer the Internet for research

Well it could be anything, really! Even curling up with a nice textbook is still kind of nice, because it's a nice textbook.

I prefer books for research also. It is a lot easier for me to remember what was special about what I just read if it is in book form over digital form.

If it's not fun, it must be in print, otherwise my attention span will make it impossible to read against the distractions of a computer.

Youtube is the fucking devil. Let that be known.

YouTube is okay, but worse distractions for me are IM, IRC and forums. :T

The thing about YouTube is that it basically takes all of my attention- multitasking text-based things is much easier than a video.

This.

It's also why I tend to ignore video links that people give me over IM. I'm not always willing to drop everything to watch a video.

I'm so glad YouTube is so barely integrated into my life then. I only go to it to listen to music and that's really rare. Otherwise, I only go when someone links me to a video. :J

Do you use youtube for listening to music? Can't you use things like Spotify?

I like watching the music videos, too, sometimes, though.

Besides, apparently they don't really have a stable Spotify release for Linux and the release they have is packaged for Debian and Fedora.

whenever someone sends me a link and I am busy, I still let if buffer for later. With my slow internet, I have to do that anyways, so...

If I'm watching a music video on YouTube, mostly it's because I actually want to watch said video.

If I want it as background noise, I download an mp3 of it.
