TET Homework ♥

1. The differences between the two versions are that the electronic version contains images, videos, music, animations, etc., while the paper-based version only contains texts and several pictures. Also, the electronic version has the hyperlinks to all of the important informations or the news that the readers might want to read about. On the contrary, paper-based versions could not have hyperlinks or stuffs that are animate because people can't possibly click on stuffs in a newspaper or a magazine. But people prefer electronic versions better because it is easier to search articles online with search engines, while paper-based versions requires buying and it's harder to find the articles you want without knowing what kind of magazines and which one. The similarity is that the two versions has the same basic and important facts, it told the readers all the details and informations they needed to imagined what happened.

2. In my opinion, even though the electronic versions have videos or proofs that make you believe in them, there had been so many cases of people hacking and spamming online, some are just basically pranks and gossips that created scandals. And for the newspaper, writers has to be quite serious to write articles that will be publish and cannot change when people buy it (well, they can but it might bother the customers). But, both versions will always have opinions and bias in most of their articles. Therefore, I think the electronic versions are not trustworthy sometimes and paper-based versions can be a LITTLE bit more reliable than the electronic versions.
