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

On one side, literacy gives technology a push. It is because people are willing to show their literacy clearer and faster. This need forms a market so that corporations would like to offer more founds to scientists to research new literacy devices which will bring business benefits.
On the other side, new technology not only provides better literacy but also directs people into a new form of life. It may create new commercial trade so that more jobs are provided; it may also bring new trouble to our world, like people who works on computers more than 10 hours every day may cause eye disease, and their bodies are weak due to lack of time for physical exercise. We need to adapt the new life which the new technology bring to us, and when we are accustomed to the life, we are going to think the next new technology that can show our literacy clearest and fastest.
