When it comes down to Digital and Writing on Paper, there are differences. It is similar to asking yourself, are you new school or old school?

I prefer to write on paper. I think that the two main ways that Digital writing and paper writing defer is that, Digital Writing reaches more people unlike a hard copy which does not reach many people and also Its more convenient and offers more ways to hear opinions from others. During my reading of “Digital vs. Print: Which is Better For you?” it gave me a better insight on the differences between Digital and Print. When writing, you want to hear feedback and you want your work to be recognized and heard by others. Writing on paper offers this but to a certain extinct.

There are a lot of Pros and Cons for both. The Pro’s of hard copies is that it is yours forever. Me personally, I learn better by reading the hard copies compared to what is online. If your old fashioned you carry cash around and you’re not much of a fan of credit and debit cards. It’s easier to purchase your hard copies and have access to. A con about writing on paper is that you don’t get as much feedback, and it does not reach many people. In today’s society I think that Digital is better for advancement, growth and opportunities. You never know who may come into contact with your work.
