Though this question is vague, the asker may be questioning why one would write on paper, as opposed to papyrus or on a slate. In this case, paper has an advantage because it is readily available, portable, and more permanent than slate. Prior to the 1900s, students practiced writing on slate because paper was expensive and not very common. In ancient history, the Egyptians wrote on papyrus, which was rougher and more difficult to write on than paper.
If the asker means the advantages of writing on paper rather than on a computer, the advantage is that paper sends a more personal message and can be saved to treasure later. Though paper can be destroyed in a fire or flood, computers are more tempermental and can lose entire manuscripts without warning due to a malfunction or virus.
