Connection between technology and literacy

Along with social development, our way of communicate has largely enhanced by the improvement of technology, as well as literacy enrichment.  it seems that the technology and literacy has nature connection, instead of developing independently, they always shape and promote each other. 

Recalling to ancient time when literacy is depend on paper-based read and write, the transmission of knowledge is mainly rely on book, which require tons of time to read, and write. People in that age seems living a quite monotonous life, their world is far less colorful than the one we enjoying. Thinking of our own daily life, you will see how great technology has shaped literacy as well as our life. No longer will we struggling in the library in finding a certain book, just by clicking your mouse,the whole world of  information associated will indicated on your computer screen. New developed technology, such as multimedia, has largely enhanced the type of literacy, to make it visualize, interesting, created and also entertainment. The prevalent of internet has changed the way we communicate. Modern people, especially our generation, is  likely to talk on internet, write on internet  instead of in realistic society. 

On the other hand, literacy also gives the direction for technology development. Since the purpose of technology is to satisfy what people need and lead them to live a better life. It must have nature connection with literacy, which almost associate with every element to living in this world. We need our creative idea to be expressed properly, then there comes multimedia technology, we need spiritual relax, then there comes technology innovation like camera, instrument, etc. 

To be brief, the connection of technology and literacy is so close, and they could not simply developed independently without each other.
