In today's world, many teenagers have access to internet and therefore they have a chance to watch free videos and films online.As it is a passive activity it is very likely that they spend much more time watching videos than reading.
While watching an online film or videos is not a bad activity per se, doing it all the time is. This is precisely what teachers and parents fear, teenagers becoming just passive consumers of any junk videos or worthless information that is presented online. They point out that good habits such as reading, and acquiring useful information for their future jobs are being lost.
However, if parents at home supervise their screen hours it is perfectly possible to keep a balance between watching online films and videos and reading. Furthermore, there are many books that teenagers love such as those related to witchcraft and vampires. So the problem is not necessarily reading, but what to read.
In my opinion, therefore, teenagers can watch video or films online and continue to have the habit of reading if they have the discipline to organise their time well, and their parents make sure that they do not exceed a limited number of hours in front of the computer.
