I don't know? I have to write an essay on that question for school. I am just looking for ideas I can put in my paper and stuff.
In my opinion, digital and traditional photography are different ways of doing the same thing.
One can learn photography in general with digital because there's no waiting to see the results. No need to log exposures because all that info is imbedded in the shot (at least with my digital SLR, anyway). If the cost of having film processed is an issue, then you may not take so many chances when clicking the shutter. With digital you can click away and try different things without worrying about wasting film.
I think there's actually a lot more to know, when using digital, although, maybe not if it's a point and shoot digital. With SLR digital, color management is an issue. You'll undoubtedly get yourself into doing editing. There's the white balance issue. Well, that's what's on the top of my head, anyway.
I'm of the mindset that while it is easier to learn with digital, there are fall more possibilities with digital than with film. I read a few articles on Luminous Landscape over the past few days (thanks Tom), and I have been playing with Photoshop NON-STOP. I used to think what I knew before was of the advanced knowledge.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go print some 8x10s
