“G-d” is used as a form of circumlocution in referring to HaShem. It is customary to write a dash in G-d’s name when using a medium that is easily destroyed, marred, or defaced, so as not to disgrace even a reference to HaShem’s name.
Treating G-d’s name with reverence is a way to give respect to Him. So even though the name is not really being erased (and perhaps is not really there in the first place) on a computer , and “G-d” is only an English term used to translate G-d’s holy name, it is in keeping with this respect that I write “G-d” in my emails and on-line posts.
