web v. paper

I believe that writing on the web and on paper are very similar because both relay the thoughts and feelings that the writer is trying to convey or tell to the reader. No matter how the words are relayed (typed or handwritten) the meaning will not really change, although handwritten letters can be much more personal than typed. They are different in the fact that typing can be faster because of the technology used such as microsoft word. Programs such as word will correct mistakes automatically, perform spell check, and give suggestions for words and phrases. Writing on paper lends itself to many more gramatical errors and can be sloppy and unlegible. When converting a handwritten document to the web the format would be the most important thing to keep in mind so the style and meaning are not changed.
