Answer 2

Because computers give instant gratification, a way to judge one as having won or lost, where books do not.

Computers provide the images, whereas books require you to comprehend the text and construct your own. Computers give you control over the environment, once you learn how to manipulate the graphic system and make things happen. Books don't give you any control, the author is telling a story.
