10 ways written digital information is better than print
1. It's easier to get information out there
Ask any blogger.
2. The information potentially has a wider audience
See above.
3. Easily shareable
4. Mistakes might travel faster, but at least they can be fixed
5. No limit to how much can be produced
6. Saved in multiple formats
I can save it online, as a PDF, or print it out. Print can be scanned at the most.
7. It's more searchable
8. Longer survival time
All print material withers over time. Digital might get corrupted, but its shelf life is infinite.
9. More influential
Fake news, conspiracy theories, online news. We used to scoff at the internet, now we trust it without abandon.
10. Cheap
Doesn't cost anything to consume or produce. Of course you need a phone or computer, but after that you're set.
