Why digital cameras make better photographers: "Digital cameras don't only eliminate the cost and hassle of film processing, they should help do away with bad holiday snaps and see us all become better photographers."
1) Shoot at will.
This also removes the thought process required to take THE shot so you end up with just any shot.
2) Experiment.
Talk with too many other experimenters and you'll pat yourselves so heartily on the back that you forget the world has enough fuzzy, out of focus, blurry photos of the inside of your cat's nostril.
3) Forget Film.
It's give and take ... now you remember media cards (which you can't just buy anywhere). Now you remember media card failures (when it happens, it happens big). Film and low light really only differs from digital at those really long (ah yes, experimental) exposures.
4) Compose from a distance.
... and have wobbly, blurry, soft shots because you're holding the camera out at arm's length as if you're scared of it!
5) Photo Editing Software.
... spoken by someone who's never heard of a film scanner.

6) Having a virtually unlimited amount of digital storage at my disposal, I just shoot and shoot and shoot with the mindset that I'll get a few good shots.
... Ahhh, the spam approach to photography!

7) Exposure problems, poor focussing, bad composition, flash flare and "red eye" are the most common problems experienced by amateur snappers.
...none of which are inherently solved by digital photography.
