Why Lit QCQs
Confirms- “I cannot accept the idea…a computer screen…[can recreate]..the same mental concentration and spiritual isolation that may be achieved by the act of reading a book”. I agree that a computer can never replace the qualities of a book, reading a book is a very personal and private experience which is hard to achieve on a device. Does this mean that the reading experience is more important than the literature itself?
Challenges- Specialization “eliminates those common intellectual and cultural traits that permit men and women to co-exist, to communicate, to feel a sense of solidarity”. Specialization has always been an aspect of every civilization. Professions such as priests, artists, and carpenters have always been specialized to extents and have always held their own jargon. Literature has declined recently but was still prominent when other civilizations had specialization. Is it really specialization that kills communication, or does it enhance communication by creating niches to talk about?
