Why? Mostly because it’s so easy. Now we can watch video wherever we are, using whatever device we have handy.

Research shows that our brains are wired with a bias toward video. An estimated 90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual, and visuals are processed 60,000X faster in the brain than text (sources: 3M Corporation and Zabisco).
