Identify and explain two specific ways that technological developments have changed our understanding of what art or writing is and how it can be created.

Looking carefully at Kirschenbaum’s chapter, “Word Processing as a Literary Subject,” and Pequeño Glazier’s chapter, “Jumping to Occlusions,” describe one way artists and writers are resisting how digital technology is changing their fields.

Then try to relate this resistance to an unintended consequence of the use of digital technology in these fields. What information from the resources leads you to this conclusion?
