Online document vs. Physical document


Document is a written or printed-paper furnishing information or evidence, and its legal or official paper. However, even though documents are all same, there is a difference between online document and physical document.

Online document do not really have publisher name because since anyone can network and publish, it is hard to keep track who wrote what.  Sometimes, the information that is online is false information because it does not really tell where they got the information or references. When people upload some documents online, it does not hold the document for longtime because somehow the website can be gone/deleted/ or erase. On the other hand, people can update faster without paying any money to publish online and provide documents.

Physical document shows the author, and publisher name(s). Since the document is printed, the information is accurate, and also has reference pages on the back. Physical document can have for longtime because it’s printed. On the other hand, it takes time to update, and it also cost money to print the documents out.
