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?

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.
