                                                   Digital is Better than print

              Digital has become a grand part of our lives as human beings evolve. Digital helps us more than using a printed source to read. Being able to look up words and references immediately enhances knowledge and fuller understanding than when a person reads something on paper and then searching it up later. When it comes to utilizing digital, we do not have to agonize about wasting paper or how much it impacts the environment. In Giancarlo Rivera’s “Digital versus Print” blog post he states many advantages and reasons why he believes that Digital is better than Print.

              You are extremely limited when you read a printed source such as a book or a magazine. “When searching on the web, if one does not understand text, they can look it up quicker than searching through the index or other books.” (Giancarlo) I believe what he said is true. When it comes to using digital to read you are unlimited to what you want to know. You can know more about what you are reading by quickly searching for a definition of a word on google, or getting more information about the story or article you are reading on the internet.

             When it comes to utilizing a digital, it is easier and faster to save the important information you would like to read again, or keep. Giancarlo sated in his blog which I strongly agree with “Technology is an easier way to obtain all the information one needs through gigabytes.” You can save anything you would like to keep just by saving it on your iPad, or laptop. Not only it is easy to save your favorite book or article, you can also save the page you were on if you can’t finish reading it.

              You can save a lot of time just by using digital. Not everyone has the time to drive to the store and shop for something they need, or drive to the doctor’s office just to make an appointment. You can quickly just go online and make appointment yourself, or use online websites to shop. Giancarlo stated “Technology is transforming us to be more time efficient and get things done the easier way.” Which is true. Digital is unlimited, we can use digital not only to read but to do little task we don’t have time to do.

              Generally speaking, digital is better than print in many ways. Many people are now using digital more than books or articles because digital is better to read, shop, and even communicate. Digital is just an amazing technology to use at home or at work. Just imagine how easy life would be just    because you have digital.

Taking sides with a source by Dan Blank

 

                                                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.
