Informal Response to "Digital verses Print"

Digital is improving print materials in our everyday lives. Digital technology is necessary for use in our society because we are a fast paced society and digital technology helps accomplish a lot with precision faster than written paper methods. In Jerusha's blog post, "Digital verses Print," she argues valid points on how digital is better than print. People need technology to get by.

Print obtains only certain information while you can find any types of information searching on the internet. Jerusha states "People are not subjected to what is right there on paper" (Jerusha), and she is correct. Using the internet anyone has access to a world wide system of information.

Print produces waste and littering. Digital uses energy which is not as a burden as what print does.  She says "When a person does not want something from the internet all they would have to do is press delete and it is gone and no waste" (Jerusha), which is true because on the internet you can delete anything you have saved. In print you would have to edit it and reprint using more paper which takes up too much time and physical space.

People can express ideas through the internet to share with the world.  The internet demonstrates Freedom of Speech, people's ability to say what they feel.  Jerusha is correct when she states,"With the internet people can get what they wrote to anyone all over the world rather than just a local bookstore" (Jerusha). Instead of going to a book store for information, you can easily acquire a digital device to search for the information. Digital technology can help somebody share their ideas of information worldwide.

Social media is an internet device that allows someone to connect with distant relatives and friends. Anyone can share information and photos on their social media friends. She states "Social media has opened a line of communication for a lot of people that have lost touch over the years" (Jerusha), and she is right because the internet really as opened new possibilities of communication. Social media is a great way to keep up with new information and communicate.

Digital has made print materials outdated. In a few years, everyone will rather use technology than use paper material for communication or information. People should switch to digital because it is more efficient in our society today. By switching to digital our society can accomplish more in a shorter time period.
