The purpose of this research is to demonstrate that reading is more efficient for the development of cognitive abilities than television. It is known that television has more influence on young people than reading, the latter is an audiovisual and dynamic medium whose function is to give the viewer extremely summarized information; on the other hand, reading requires a deeper analysis, needs comprehension, abstraction capacity and even the reader's patience to understand the content. The aim here is to verify which of these two communicative media provides more knowledge to high school students, to discover the factors that lead them to choose television or reading to get information and knowledge, as well as to increase their cognitive abilities. Media theories mostly state that reading is better for educational fulfillment since the media do not know how to correctly manipulate the information broadcast on television. In sum, encouraging reading in young people will be a difficult process but it will help to a better cognitive development or failing that it will help to improve television contents to impact intellectually on young people avoiding the intake of useful information.
