1. Yes, because you have to use your brain and imagination so much more. With films it's always static, but books can change every single time you read them.
2. I wouldn't say so. Games also change every time. Perhaps not much, but you can alter your path through games, and it requires input so you use your brain again. Films, nah. And TV is worst of all.
3. Not inherently, however often times it just happens to be that way. Many violent games are based around the violence, where non-violent ones require much more thinking. There are exceptions, obviously, but this seems to me to be the basic principal.

1. Do you prefer thinking or letting your brain go on cruise control?
2. If you lose data while working on a project and the entire project is lost, do you try to recreate it the same way the second time around or take a whole new approach?
3. Shouldn't I be working instead of on the message boards right now?
