Paper Summary:

This paper shows how the literary response during the early days of technology and the computer was mixed. Many sources feared that communication skills and literary skills would be lost as a result of technology. The paper looks at several articles and points of view in which the writers predicted opinions which ranged from unforeseen disasters, to great successes, as a result of the technology revolution.

From the Paper:

"Communication is a key element of our society and the ways that we communicate in the information age has become a challenge in the 21st century. During the early days of technology and the computer most people wondered what would encompass being "literary" in the information age. How would we take the old ritual of literary culture and transform that skill into the bits of data and information that characterize the information age. Tracy Kidder's book, The Soul of a New Machine provides a glimpse into the world of early technology. Kidder provides an account of the work done by a group of Data General engineers who are creating a new innovative computer. The book chronicles the project throughout the course of a year and examines the changes that take place in the lives of the team during various phases of the project."
