What advantages do CAD programs provide over traditional paper and pencil design? What advantages does paper and pencil design provide over CAD?

CAD programs have the ability to create realistic, colorful and 3D designs of products that you wouldn't able to do without it. It also would be able to adjust textures and you can also put pieces together to see if the design would work before actually testing it out in real life. With a piece of paper and pencil, you would be able to quickly and efficiently work without much experience.
