The author begins with the sentence, “Literature isn’t alien to technology, literature is technological to begin with.”. This quote illustrates the relationship between literature and technology. In order to make literature we need technology. This is the exact reason why in 1440 the first printing press was invented. It allowed, for the first time in history, books to be mass-produced and at a fraction of the cost of conventional printing methods. Literature was always dependent on technology, even more in today’s society where we get digital books, read articles online, grow rich in information online (researching for new information on the internet). Technology has affected, in addition, our perspective and understanding of classical literature and literature in general, as the author expressed by saying, “We write worse because we cannot write classical prose. Yet classical prose is useless for describing the world of 2012, the world that is there – ready to buzz – in your pocket or bag.”. Today’s generation cannot comprehend the style of classical writing, nor are they interested in understanding it. This is due because we live in a world full of easy-accessed information and people are only interested in having what they want fast and easily. It is a fast-driven society. If you cannot offer fast information people are not interested in you because the internet is there to answer a lot of their questions in no time. When receiving a task by a professor that includes finding a piece of information in an article, many people are only interested in reading the part of the assignment containing the information needed instead of reading all of the interred pieces. I don’t judge them because this is also due because we live in a fast-driven world as I said. However, this is no good because a step further can create chaos. As my old man says, “Difficult times create strong man, strong man create good times, good times create weak and lazy man, and weak and lazy man create bad times”. Technology can be good and bad at the same time. For example, in the film Wall-E, technology was so advanced that people lost their way of living. They were all fat and unwealthy, lying down on couches letting technology do everything for them. A world like that, wouldn’t go far. However, technology is very useful. Many diseases can be cured today because of technological advancements. In the future, many more would be cured, although new ones will arrive. Technology has been very helpful. I think it is safe to say that this new generation has learned more from the internet than in school. Listening to my parent’s education stories, they needed to go miles just to read a book or just to see if a library had it. Now, we just need to go online. Reading through a screen is very comfortable, however, I am scared to see technology making our lives even more comfortable. It would be quite shameful if we end up letting technology do everything for us and becoming so lazy that we become compatible with the fat society in the Wall-E movie. I believe we can make a limit in how much technology would help us because many jobs will be also replaced by technology which will make millions of people unemployed and millions of families in poverty.
