Why digital is better than print

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            Print is outdated.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.
