It is pretty obvious that it is easier to write using a computer rather than on a piece of paper. A lot of people find their selves comfortable and satisfied using this powerful tool which aids them in the writing process. All you have to do is to sit conveniently in and start typing out those words that best fitted with your topic. You can easily insert, edit or delete some parts in your content whenever you feel like there is something wrong with your sentences. You only have to deal with your ideas.
Unlike before, people used to write down their ideas in a paper. Although most of us nowadays utilize a computer rather than writing down in a paper, there are still a little convenience why we should use a paper when it comes to editing and revising your contents.

For some people, there is a huge difference between revising your writing on screen and on paper. In fact, we highly recommend everyone (especially those who grew up with computers) to try out revising from a printout at least once. You never know – it might prove more beneficial for you.
The best argument for “on paper” editing is the window size. With a hard copy, you can read large chunks of text in one glance, something that is not possible on a scrolling Word document.
With that said, though, I have been very partial towards computer based editing for the longest time, largely for speed and ease considerations. It is just considerably simpler to revise from a PC than from a printout. The former, you can do right where you’re working, while the latter would require an extra peripheral and, possibly, even a different work area.
Whether you liked to write with the help of your computer or you’re convenient enough on paper writing, writing with ease and convenience is a lot more important than uneasy writing. What matters is that you know how to organize your ideas well and format your content in an appropriate way, which also includes the correct way of using English grammar and watch out for spellings and punctuations, for you to come up with good quality writing.
Grammar Software
For the most part, I find that being able to use a grammar software easily compensates for any downsides PC based editing brings to the table. In fact, I can’t imagine ever editing a piece of writing anymore without the use of a competent software that goes through it word by word, ably figuring out transgressions against the rules of the English language.
An electronic alternative to the problem of reading chunks of text, by the way, is to use either a larger monitor (where going on full screen mode still allows you to read the fonts) or a rotating one (which can go from landscape to portrait mode with a single movement). While it’s not the “exact same thing” (you can’t run a marker on the screen, for instance), the experience should be approximately similar.
