There can be many
disadvantages of a paper diary as they are sometimes illegible-but this differs
from user to user. The legibility of the diary is very important especially
when other colleagues are in touch with the diary for specific information or dates-as
some people do not have legible handwriting, it becomes harder for other
colleagues to access the information properly. The paper diary can be lost
easily and if an opposing business member gets hold of it many vital
information can be lost. Paper diaries can be damaged very easily if substances
such as water spill on it.
It cannot be edited very easily as it is handwritten whereas if it were on the
electronic diary you could just edit your work by deleting the specific
information and retyping the edited information up. It is not as reusable as
the electronic diary as new diaries will have to be brought every year. Paper
diaries can be very large, massive and stout in size.
