How does a computer drawing program compare to using a compass and straightedge?

A computer drawing program generally has more steps compared to using a compass and straightedge, although not by much. In a computer drawing program, you can erase an error within a click of a button, compared to having to manually perfect and erase your work when using a compass and straightedge. Also, you immediately have access to an online drawing program as long as you have Internet connection and a computer compared to having to go out and buy a new compass and straightedge. Other than that, they're generally the same despite being different mediums.

Hope this helps!
