Digital is
better
Digital is everything in this new age,
everywhere you go. The world we live in revolves around digital it’s a wonder
how we ever lived without it. Dan
blank say’s in his article “Why digital is better than print”, how people are
not into print that much. Some people agree and other may not. Digital
is better than print.
Digital is so much a part of this
generation that no one even takes the time to think about the fact that print
once was a source for everything. Unlike print digital is very Eco- friendly, compact
and has no limit. Print never changes form, and is very expensive to change.
Also print is not environmentally friendly.
Print cannot be altered in anyway, and
it is very expensive to change unlike digital. Digital can sometimes lead to
false information, and copy right issues.”Because digital media is inherently
connected to services and new applications each piece of information can find
itself being stretched and morphed in new ways to solve a need” (2). Although
there are a few con’s to digital, it is great for the environment.
Digital is convenient, and green. You
can multitask, and you have unlimited access to it. With digital there is less
paper so that means there will be no ink stains. Dan Blank states “But when
considering the education needs of the planet, and the productivity needs of
all businesses, there is clearly a better way “(7). It empowers the masses and encourages
creation. Creating is so much easier when it comes to digital, everything is so
limitless.
I think
digital is a lot better than print. More people would agree with Dan Blank. Whether
is at home, school or on vacation we never leave home without our computers and
cell phones. Digital is better than print for the simple fact that digital is
fore ever getting better with each generation. Digital is our future.

Lotoya spelled out very important benefits in have digital media rather than print. As Lotoya states "print is not environmentally friendly", tons of trees are destroyed every day as a result. Loss of trees causes a lot of animals to lose their homes. This results to endangered species. Digital media doesn't waste almost any trees.
ReplyDeleteLotoya also states a very interesting point, "You can multitask, and you have unlimited access to it". When I am in the train, I like to read the newspaper. I am only limited to what the newspaper says. With a phone you can read countless types of print media including newspapers, articles, and magazines. If I get bored of reading I can play a game on that very same device.
Phone are getting better everyday. Phones are becoming so fast that there is no delay when opening an app. Train stations are having cellphone reception and wifi hotspots. With internet expanding everywhere, we can download digital media more better.
