Print vs digital media

Print is something produced by a mechanical process involving the transfer of texts, images, or designs to paper. Digital media are any media that are encoded in a machine-readable format. Digital media can be viewed, distributed, modified, and preserved on computers. Print is something that is tangible and able to write on without altering the original text. Paper is also specially flexible and allows you to look at all of the document at one time instead of one page at a time like on the computer. One medium will never replace the other medium. There is too much of a need for both for one to out way the other. This means that everyday writing will be affected by the print and digital media. The actual words and diction won't change but how it is displayed and communicated will change with the digital age.
