Question

After World War II, technological advancements radically changed how people viewed themselves, humanity, and the world. For example, rockets carried people into space, the splitting of atoms tapped into nuclear power, and the television provided a new medium for sharing information. Imagine being in the shoes of a postmodernist writer. How would technological advancements influence your writing and literature in general? In contrast, can literature influence technological advancements?

Answer 1

Answer:

I would probably write my opinions and thoughts about technological advancements every day. I would add my ideas to my articles (anywhere I would write one). My writings would be about the happenings presently like any new thing that appears, and they would give new and different ideas to other writers that would influence them to write about such subjects too. Of course literature can influence technological advancements. Writers could write about something that would be useful for example, and inventors could become inspired and actually try to create it. They could also write about something made up, and inventors would like the idea and try to make something similar that could become really helpful…  

Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

Technological advancements could influence writing and literature in general by giving new ideas to authors, or by providing them with new settings to explore. Beside from that, technological advancement could influence writing just because it could make easier writing, just like computers have made the work of writers easier decade by decade.

Literature can influence technological advancements. Literature can provide scientist with new ambition achievement to reach, thus providing a drive to the people behind the technological advancements. It's different though from the influence of technology because it is more subtle and less clear to see, but it is there and it is just as important.
