Explain computer aided writing.

Computer are widely used by the majority of writers for their writing. Use of computer does not change the principles of good writing, but it does help to make writing task easier in many ways. Word processors like Microsoft’s Word makes tasks of writing, revising and editing a document easier. Clean copy of documented can be printed once it is revised and is error free. Unlike traditional type writers, several drafts of same document need not to be produced. The typed document can be previewed on the screen before printing on a paper. In fact computer assisted writing is more convent way to write than traditional type writers or pen and paper. Moreover, use of computer for writing can save time and labour.
Once the necessary keyboard skills are learnt, writing with computer can increase the speed of writing. Writer can write down whatever that comes in their mind, then revise the text and change the text as per their requirement. They can also take words out and put words in. Let us say after writing this paragraph I wanted to change the word “Computer” to “PC” it would be a lot of work if I was not using computer, because I would have to re-write all the text from top to bottom just to change that one word. In addition to that, writers using computer write rapidly, ignoring problems of precise phrasing during the creation of first draft. Whereas, writers using pen and paper are tempted to pause and try to get things “right” the first time through, because they know the labour of re-writing or re-typing. This interrupts the idea that flows in the writers mind. Thus, use of word-processors encourages smooth flow of idea in writing. Computer help writers to efficiently write, review and check their text for errors, without any interruptions. But it is still difficult task for writers to make decisions like “where this piece of text goes, if not here”, “which word should be use”, “which words should be changed” etc. Because computers cannot think, its writers task to decide whether to keep or remove some text from the document. Computers cannot compose texts for writers. They count decide which information goes where. In short, computer supported writing is the best way to prepare any document.
