Paper vs. Web Writing

Writing on the web and on paper are very different to me. I use them for different purposes, and I have come to realize what form is best-used at certain instances.

Writing on the web is normally very informal and simple. It is easy to access and write on at any time you have a computer, and it usually involves less content. Writing on the internet is usually harder to read than writing on paper, and most people who want to observe long documents tend to use writing on paper.

A more formal form of writing would be done on paper. It is usually more elaborate, and presentable. It is good for presenting longer papers with a lot of content. Paper can be harder to use sometimes due to having to have access to a printer or paper and pencil. Most people also use paper for longer reading because it seems to be easier on the eye, and in-depth analysis comes easier when using paper.

The two forms are the same when it comes to grammar. Grammar is always important whether on paper or on the internet. People should be able to understand writing at all times, no matter what the medium of choice.
