A Comparison Of Digital Technology Vs. Digital Devices?

Future is knocking on the door of destiny and the human race is the only one to answer. Now, with the 21st century and counting, people must slowly adapt to new, futuristic, and high-tech world whether they like it not. To this day, there are still a handful of heated debates arguing old against new. One having argument of significant renown is the argument of digital technology and traditional paper textbooks. Many industries touch base on this topic, primarily the education industry which poses the question of whether textbooks should be entirely replaced by digital devices. Digital devices are of higher-caliber when compared to textbooks condign to their versatility, accessibility, and time efficiency.

At times people have a lot of time and they become slightly laxed. At other times people have little to no time and they get stressed. But now, time is everything and people are oftenly on a time crunch. Digital devices at least gives people some leeway when they’re in search for information. One benefit of the digital devices are their easy to navigate and quick search options. Information on the web is found almost instantly nearly every time. This is also without searching through pages and texts to get to one specific paragraph with the wanted information. Navigation in devices are also made simpler due to search engines only needing words and concepts typed into it. Navigation like this is found in traditional textbooks though found in the back of the book in alphabetical order and often times do not document certain information. Lastly, purchases for literature items are made quicker on digital formats than being bought as a physical copy. Purchases on a digital format are instantaneous and can be ordered in numerous of items at once. Physical items are much more different in terms of the time of purchase and the time the item is delivered. Purchases for physical objects must take time to be shipped over to the consumer’s location and has the chance of being faulty upon arrival which can make the time and money spent all in vain. All in all, time is precious and can be detriment in low amount, so time spent is up to the choice
One reason being is the optical damage the artificial electromagnetic waves can cause from exposure to screens. The same light that aids vision in the dark can cause damage to the eyes and being the reason that “causes a lot of doctors and sleep scientists to recommend regular books over tablets” (Richardson). Yes, the fact that the artificial light is preeminent compared to most issues with digital devices due to all device users gaining strains with their eyes with enough exposure. However, e-ink screens are a feature within most digital devices that leviates the issues with eye damaging by making the screen emit less blue light than traditional backlit screen. Even without the use of an e-ink screen the user can simply take intermission for several minutes to avoid serious eye fatigue. A second reason some may say that traditional textbooks are for the better is that they cause less distractions. Especially in students, digital devices for students are like a getaway from their due work time in class. This topic is significantly far-fetched as it is up to the choice of the student to choose between their responsibilities or distraction from their digital devices. A solution is to confiscate their devices entirely or issue more disciplinary actions for those who’ve chose to be lost in their screen.
