Data and information are very important in the areas of study and knowledge. Most of the times, information or data needs to be shared or distributed. Many times, information goes through various channels before reaching its final destination. There are various forms of transferring the information. In the world of electronics, the exchange of information can swiftly take place with the help of a hard copy and a soft copy. Many people confuse between the two. They both are different from each other.
The main difference between a hard and soft copy is that unlike hard copy, a soft copy always require an electronic medium to be read and displayed. Even if you have the data in a pen drive, it needs to be displayed using a computer or any other compatible display medium. Both have their own set of advantages and disadvantages.
