According to Zygmunt BaumanIt we live in a liquid world, that is we are overwhelmed by information, relationships are not mostly meant to last, things change at a pace never seen before by humans, having said this, our literary culture is bombarded by mass produced literature, for instance the <em>Twilight</em> saga and the <em>Harry Porter</em> saga which by themselvesis not bad but it seems that people compete to say how many book they have read, but the question is how many books have they really read? Although I wouldn't change much of the writying style, I don't think there is a general school of writing nowadays so anyone can be romantic, barroque, neoclassic, moden, what suits them, but the approach to reading for details and cross reference to traditional and classic must be preserved. There is no denial that more people read now but they need to be taught how to read critically and challenge the classic tropes, but not by enacting newer tropes, for instance I am yet to see a prodigalson story emphasising and redeeming the older brother.

Illegal downloading has become such a major issue in recent years because it's becoming easier and easier for people to do it. This causes stress on recording companies and producers and in turn, the artists creating the music. Similarly with tv shows and movies, illegal downloads make it harder for the creative team to make their money back from what they spent creating it.
