1. Litt begins by saying that literature is not alien to technology in fact because literature is technology to begin with, so the relationship between technology and literature is that literature depends on technology. But the advancement of technology has led to a regression of literature. The connectivity of the Internet provides people all with the constant temptation of snippets, trivia, and distractions from writing. Previously, writers did not have these particular temptations. Therefore, Litt believes that writers will continue to happen, but technology and its trivia can take something away from the people and the writers. She believes that many writers write worse now because they can’t write classical prose which doesn’t even fit modern technology anymore, indicating a regression in literature.

2. I think technology has affected my perception of classical literature because it has given me certain ideas and thoughts about many things, so when I see or learn more about classical literature now, I compare it to what I see and learn now, and therefore it makes me not fully understand it. As technology advances, more literature is now presented in more science fiction or modern way, so I have relatively little access to classical literature unless it is in class or I get a chance to see it and become interested.

3. I think there is an advantage to technology to change the stories of today or the future. Technology has changed the way people view, interpret, and the way they write about stories. It has created the ability for people to write through the internet for example by commenting or rating things or people, which means that many people can now present their ideas, inspirations, techniques in any way they want on the internet that can be seen by different people or even by people in different countries, which facilitates different writers and others to learn different ways of creating and writing, which implies that they can better represent the various possibilities and ways of literature.

4. I think for me there is not a lot of impacts because reading on the screen is somewhat better, it is easy to read on the screen or through different interfaces and it does not take much time to find what you need to read or what is important. Using screen reading is probably better for many different types of specialized reading documents, and to a certain extent is more environmentally friendly because it does not require the use of paper.
