Introduction
With technologies progressing unprecedentedly, some prefer to adopt modern ways to capture the critical moments, while others remain utilising the traditional methods. Personally, the key to this debate lies in how people define the significance of those records.

Body 1
The digital version does have its edges especially for those users who desire to share memories with others. This is mainly because modern technology has brought much convenience to satisfy their demands. Taking full advantage of the colossal storage capacity and the fast travelling speed on the Internet, netizens can not only recall their memories whenever they want but also share their digital albums and blogs on social media, which facilitates them to win a large number of ‘hearts’ and followers and thus enhance their sense of self-esteem. While some may be concerned about the risks of privacy leakages, such problems can be avoided via setting access codes. In contrast, traditional ways, in terms of sharing, are largely restrained by the geographic distance.

Body 2
However, for those who do not base their expectation on the click-through rate, traditional methods like making photo albums and writing diaries lock up more significance. To illustrate, since those items are made in person, they are equipped with personal characteristics. Either the layout of photos or the style of writing gives life to the records, which can further evoke strong memories of the moments captured. The more photos and paper have yellowed with ages, the more precious the memories have been. It is worth memorising that one, in his or her late years, flicks through the albums and tells the beloved ones about the stories recorded. However, the digital version only has the date shown on the screen to tell how many years have passed.
解析
传统方式的好处:具有个人特色,有触感,激发制作过程的回忆 [对比论证] 电子版看不到时间的流逝,难体会回忆的珍贵

Conclusion
In a nutshell, both methods have their pros and cons, and the answer of the discussion largely depends on personal interests.
