Educational vs. Non Educational Text

I believe that there are no differences between educational and non educational text because I think that no text is non educational. Every area of text in our surroundings offers some bit of knowledge, whether it may be small or large.
Text can be found in various subjects: music, billboards, clothing, artwork, movies, commercials, internet, games, and cell phones. Although some people may consider text found in video games insignificant whereas others don't get anything out of listening to music, there are others who thrive on games and the codes that come with them, as well as people who live by the idea that without music, life wouldn't be the same, and that there are lyrics in songs that can change ones outlook on everything. This is why I believe that all text is educational, or withholds some kind of meaning, despite the fact that there are people who don't gain the same feeling that others do when dealing with varieties of text found in the world.
