Going Electronic - Introduction

Lots of people don’t remember what it was like before technology. Others still avoid it at all costs. Science, computers, cell phones, television and even smart speakers are shaping the new society we live in. Things we could never think or imagine have become possible because of our ability to look beyond the norm. This era is known as the Electronic Age.  

The Electronic Age has allowed a new form of writing to create new ways of implementing the writing process. Some people are more against technology than others, but it has been inevitable in our growth over the years. However, nothing can replace the feel of traditional hand writing. It’s a mechanical process that expresses the feelings, thoughts and experiences that people go through. But people have learned to expand the possibilities in writing. It allows expressing yourself in a quicker, more efficient way. It has revolutionized the way we think, communicate and do life.  

Since this new form of writing has been invented, it’s important to know how writing communities and the publishing industry handle the new technologies placed in their hands. How do they view such technologies? Which ones are the best? What are the pros and cons of electronic writing and publishing? The world is following this new path that has been created, so it’s important to figure out the best roads to take.
