        　　One Major Advantage of Electronic Dictionaries
        　　Electronic dictionaries are becoming more and more popular among students
nowadays. As a result, they may eventually render printed dictionaries obsolete!
Undeniably electronic dictionaries contain a number of merits in comparison to
their printed counterparts and therefore, I would like to suggest one major
advantage of electronic dictionaries.
        　　Perhaps the most pronounced advantage of electronic dictionaries is that
all of them are portable and consequently easy to carry around, whether in a
pocket or a bag. Students can put the dictionary in their pocket and look up new
words whenever and wherever they are. This is a huge advantage over the
traditional large paper bound dictionary because size really does matter. This
compactness means not only that electronic dictionaries are getting smaller and
lighter as well as incorporating a bigger memory but also that dictionaries can
be installed into other small portable devices such as mobile phones. Although
smaller in some people's view means less availability of memory and other
functions, with the increasing advances made in nanotechnology this is no longer
the cases.
        　　In the final analysis, electronic dictionaries are the by-product of the
inexorable progress of computerization, miniaturization and nanotechnology which
has meant that one of their biggest advantages is their small size while still
enjoying all the benefits of earlier, larger models. (214 words)
