2014 is a time where society
isn’t holding around huge newspapers. Dan blank say’s in his article “ Why
digital is better than print”, how people are not into print that much. Some
people might agree with him and some may not. Digital has a bigger advantage. Today’s
society is over print.
Digital is Eco-friendly. For newspapers to be made it involves
cutting down a tree. Digital is a lot better for the environment. As Dan says “Digital
certainly consumes energy, but the inherent waste is not as evident, as
millions of copies of a single piece of content can be replicated and spread
across the world in moments” (page 4). While papers are being thrown away
everywhere and wasted. Digital isn’t hurting anything.
Paper is alone when it comes to looking up sources in a
quick click. With digital a click away can send you to a lot of different
sources. “ Print media doesn’t play well with anyone else. It
can be clipped, photocopied, and saved, but it always remains in its original
form. For a beloved book, this could be fine. But when considering the
education needs of the planet, and the productivity needs of all businesses,
there is clearly a better way.” (page 5). With print you have one source. Digital
you have phones, televisions and much more.
Digital is more organized. While print can lose pages and
get messed up. Digital can be saved in a folder to the person liking. People
don’t have to worry about losing something unlike newspapers. Newspaper can
start to revolve and join society.
Print is outdated. People don’t go to libraries anymore.
Digital is quicker to grab your phone and look up and book or a new article. It
is quicker and more reliable. Print is good when doing a research paper. But most people prefer
just taking their phones out.
Personally I think digital is a lot better than print. More
people would agree with Dan Blank. He was right about all of this point on how
digital is more eco-friendly and reliable unlike print.
