article = div?

Why do I need a new tag if it means the same thing as a div?

To make it more readable. Example : <div>Hi, I am an article</div> <article>I am an article</article> Which one is more readable? :))

in the old days it did the following in html: <div id = "article"> </div> <div id = "section"> </div> <div id = "nav"> </div> now in the new html5 format the new tags have been incorporated: <section> </section> <nav> </nav> <article> </aside> and many more, it would be good if you take a look
