Working in digital space can be a lot different than working in physical space. Digital space in much easier then the real world would ever be the ability to go back and fix mistakes, edit and move things around, work on multiple things at once although that is not a good idea.

            The real world and working on paper is outdated I believe close to nobody writes books or papers on actual paper. Humans are bound to make mistakes and computers give humans the ability to go back and fix mistakes as well as help them find them.  The advantages of working in the digital world outweigh the negatives which can actually be variable.

            The only negatives are why people didn’t have the ability to work in the digital world before, not mention the many distractions we face when working in the digital world. First of music can be played when working on project it can either help us or hurt us. Second the internet can be a bit of a distraction whether is clicking link after link in the Wikipedia or being bombarded with notifications from social networking websites we can easily be distracted by the digital space. Digital space also has the flaw of mechanical errors, with problems such as people’s computers not being compatible with each other which give them the inability to exchange work; although this problem is receding it sometimes affects us.

            The main idea is the digital space makes things either to mend to our own liking and the advantage of editing and saving documents, merging them and sending them to each other.

i agree with your comment about working in digital space. it is really nice to have an option to go back a delete something you dont want anymore. it is also a plus that there are applications that can show you your mistakes. :) that is awesome!

No more overnight FedEx. Just open up the inbox, attach and send. How convenient.

As a reply to your comment, Ubuntu is nice because it is free and very similar to Mac. Macs are nice and I want one, but they are really damn expensive. So the next best alternative is Ubuntu and that is why I chose it.
