                                                Digital is better than print

            For many decades people have been utilizing printed resources, such as magazines, newspapers and much more to read, but as the world processed from a simple to a more complex form people have updated to new technologies to make life easier. Digital is one of the technologies the world has invented to save us from using paper, or printed resources. Digital is an easier way to read, and a much easier way to advance our knowledge.

             When it comes to magazines, or newspaper people tend to read more, read longer and sometimes they want to save their favorite articles or books because they would like to read it again, but saving paper tend to get messy because it is only a sheet of paper; as to digital, it is very easy for people to organize their favorite articles or books. Everything a person wants or needs is on a digital which makes life easier.

              A single sheet of paper may seem like an insignificant thing. But the use of thousands of sheets each day can have a huge impact on the environment. That's especially true in schools, where students and teachers all use lots of paper. Once the paper has been made, it becomes a huge waste problem that people cannot afford.  On the other hand, a person using a tablet, or an iPad will not use trees. People should stop buying paper books and buy a digital

             Utilizing a tablet or a kindle to read is just relaxing and stress free. A person does not have to worry about flipping pages, or losing the page they were reading; they just have to scroll to the next slide or save on their computer or tablet. When a person is using a digital, they are unlimited to pull out any relevant information they want to know more about (Dan Blank ). Using the internet and searching for further information will help a person advance their knowledge.

            Although people have used paper for so long, and have used it every day; a digital has a better impact. Being able to look up words and references immediately enhances knowledge and a fuller understanding than when a person reads something on paper and then looked it up later when they are around a dictionary or encyclopedia. Digital is just easier, time consuming, and saves trees.
