What are the merits and demerits of visual media?

Visual media, such as videos and infographics, can effectively convey complex information quickly and engage audiences through appealing visuals. They enhance retention and understanding, making learning more accessible. However, demerits include the potential for oversimplification of information and the risk of misinformation if not properly vetted. Additionally, excessive reliance on visual media can lead to reduced critical thinking and analytical skills among audiences.
