Electronic Media v. Paper Media

Electronic media has major disadvantages compared to paper media. That is because electronic media is vulnerable to being manipulated by outside sources that donate to support the articles. Paper media is efficient only in cases where there is no electricity being used locally or if there is massive blackout. Paper media is commonly distributed for a cheaper price, and it can be taken anywhere without the need of a battery, battery charger, or electronic device to open the article.


Electronics may replace nearly everything, but there are still articles that need to be printed or written in case if electricity were depleted too quickly. Electronics will not be able to replace everything, because it requires electricity that is currently difficult to consume in terms of the economy. Rather, more natural and free energy sources will replace everything, such as paper. There is also the disadvantage of light emitted by electronics, which can damage the eye and confuse the observation of a light spectrum (black and white televisions do not damage the eye so quickly). Without paper, there is no electronics because paper inspires the idea of printing.
