"How does literacy shape technology? How does technology shape literacy?"

They are intereting questions. Those two questions seems to be related to each other. In my opinon, the shapes of writing technologies accompany the process of developing of literacy. For example, the most basical technology is pencil. If there was no writing exsiting before, it would not be emerged. Meanwhile, the literacy can record the technologies and makes the public possiblely have access to understand and interpret the technologies. For instance, if a new washing machine were invented, we can learn how to operate it by instruciton that is also a kind of literacy.

My viewpoint of the second question is that technology creats tons of novel, various literacy, especially when computers were used to as a method to composetion. There is no doubt that the fiction would not be imerged without the high development of technology. It also provides us with a visual perspective to observe the world around us.
