     • It’s great that most dictionaries are now online. This is a much better medium than the printed books of old: there are no limitations of space, and an online dictionary can always stay up to date and explain even the newest additions to the language. But with so much available on the web, it’s more important than ever to find the right resource.

   Is online dictionary better than Digital Dictionary?

   • The advantage of an online dictionary is pretty clear: fast lookup, more information and media for an entry, always updated, zero weight, sharable, free. In fact, for the purpose of looking up a word solely, I believe that there is no way a physical dictionary is better than its digital counterpart.

   Why should you use a dictionary?

   • But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain more complex ones. Using one feels like prying open an oyster rather than falling down a rabbit hole. Unknown words become solvable mysteries. Why leave them up to guesswork?

   Do online dictionaries require a computer?

   • Online dictionaries are often basically word lists with translations. (So I disagree with Armfoot on this point.) All learner's dictionaries that I am aware of are printed dictionaries (or printed dictionaries converted to an online dictionary). Obviously, a printed dictionary does not require a computer or a smartphone or an Internet connection.

   Are digital dictionaries becoming more popular?

   • Studies on dictionary use have been gaining ground over the last three decades or so, but while dictionary use has moved dynamically into the digital medium, user research on digital dictionaries has been somewhat slow in coming.

   Are online dictionaries based on a paper dictionary?

   • This argument does not apply to online dictionaries that were originally based on printed dictionaries and are updated according to the same principles as the paper dictionary. Examples include the online English dictionaries by Collins, Oxford and Cambridge, the online German dictionary by Duden, the online Dutch dictionary by Van Dale, etc.
