Will electronic dictionaries kill printed dictionaries?(2) Thirdly, using the electronic dictionary is one of the methods to protect environment. As we all know, environmental pollution is rather serious at present, which is including air pollution, water pollution and so on. Overcutting trees are harmful to environmental protection. The printed dictionary which is made of wood is consuming the wood. Generally speaking, a ton of paper needs to consume seventeen trees. Besides, the printed dictionaries can’t be used once they have got wet. What’s more, this material which the printed dictionary is made of creases easily, and then the content in the dictionary can’t be identified easily. On the contrary, the electronic dictionary solves these disadvantages to a certain extent. What’s the most important point is that the electronic dictionary can be recycled. Fourthly, not only does the electronic dictionary save time, but also it can save place. When you look up in the traditional dictionary, at first, you have to find which part the first letter is in. And then, you continually find the rest of letters page by page, word by word. It’s waste a lot of time. But if you check the word in electronic dictionary, you only have to type the every letters. And the screen will show up the information of the word you checked. So it can save you much time and have much time to check another word. In addition, a traditional dictionary such as Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary takes up much of place. However, the electronic dictionary just needs a small room. Most important of all, most entries of an electronic dictionary are comparatively updated. The social updates every day and many new words are appeared. And it’s necessary add up the new words. But it’s impossible to add up the new words into the printed dictionary. We can’t wash out the whole dictionary for adding up a few words. It will waste a large number of paper. But it’s easy to add up the new words into the electronic dictionary by updating the software version. From above, we can predict that the electronic dictionary will be instead of the printed dictionary in the future. I think the electronic dictionary companies will improve their technology to appeal to more and more people. For the convenience and usefulness of the electronic dictionary, the electronic dictionary will kill the printed dictionary.

Will electronic dictionaries kill printed dictionaries?(1) With the rapid development of technology, electronic dictionaries are born. Many people use the electronic dictionary as study or business, and the electronic dictionary becomes one of the most popular search tools in the 21st study century. However, at the same time, there is an intense argument whether the electronic dictionary will kill the printed dictionary recently. Some people hold a view that the electronic dictionary will never kill the printed dictionary. They point out the constant use of such an electronic device may cause many side effects. For instance, there are not enough explanations, patterns, or examples to illustrate the correct usage of a word. In addition to the constant use of this study aid can make people too much attached to the dictionary and become lazy, which will lead them to form a passive, lazy habit of learning. But other people take an opposite side. They firmly believe that the electronic dictionary will kill printed dictionary. They believe, as a study aid, an electronic dictionary has many advantages. As far as I am concerned, I agree to the latter idea that the electronic dictionary tends to kill the printed dictionary is preferable in many senses. There are 5 reasons behind my belief are as follows. First of all, compared with the printed dictionary, the electronic dictionary is more convenient and very handy. In this high technology world, the high-tech products are smaller and smaller as well as more and more delicate. Therefore, the electronic dictionary is small and light. So it’s very convenient for people to take out. You can take with it wherever you go and check it everywhere and at any time. Therefore, you needn’t go out with a heavy and thick dictionary when you need to look up the dictionary outside. Secondly, due to its multi-functions, it’s also very helpful. It can not only translate words from English to Chinese, but vice versa. Some even can teach the learner how to pronounce a word. But in the traditional dictionary, you only can read and don’t know if you pronounce it right. Besides, there are many function in the electronic dictionary, including dictionary inquiry, learning function, electronic notepad function, calculation function, reference function as well as data transmission function. One dictionary at hand can solve a lot of problems.
