Back when MTV started out, I was about the only one in my high school class who was not impressed. My thinking was that it was "prefabricated imagination." I figured whatever images I came up with during a certain song were my own, and if I saw a video, to have to see their interpreted images from then on...it just seemed wrong.
Which, in some ways, reflects how I feel about books to movies. Movies cannot replace books, but yet I've seen so many great movies based on great books. To Kill A Mockingbird comes to mind first.
So I guess it can work both ways.
