The Web vs. Paper

In today's time there aren't many papers you find that are not connected in some way to a computer or the net. Even though our portal for writing and sharing has changed, the actual intentions of writing have not. When people write they are always going to be expressing a feeling or some type of opinion. Also, everyone wants what they are looking for to be at their fingertips, and therefore like what they are reading to quickly reveal the point. We still reveal the topic of our writing pretty soon in a paper, but having a paper on the web allows for people to search for exactly what they are looking forward. The availability of information has drastically changed with the web. Like everything, the style of writing has somewhat changed. Writing in papers are usually more formal than what you find on the web. Now days, people write everything on the web, and resort to shorthand notations. Also, when it comes to writing on the web many people pay less attention to grammatical mistakes as well. As for transferring a document that is formerly read on paper to the web, you have got to be careful that the layout and design are not changed drastically. Also, if you are typing it instead of scanning something, you have to be careful with small grammatical mistakes and leaving information out. Writing in general remains relatively the same, but as time goes on we continue to add our own flare to our writing on the web.
