Nowadays, composing and connecting with literature has become somewhat of a exasperating and dismissed art form. Coming across people that read at their own leisure on a regular basis rarely occurs, and as an aspiring writer the challenge of finding an audience that truly listens to what you have to say remains one of the hardest obstacles to overcome. Considering short attention spans and constant need for instant satisfaction the majority of people in this generation encompass, the idea of asking someone to read a 300 page book only to realize the meaning in the last chapter describes a hefty request and unrealistic expectation to hope for. With this said, we become forced to alter our mediums of choice in order to adjust to modern addictions to technology and fit the times we’re living through more realistically. Although physical books are losing their popularity, cell phones have gained a huge role in distributing sources of information instantly. The truth of the matter about how we constantly read and digest written thoughts and ideas at high rates without even realizing it reminds me that humankind need words, potentially now more than ever. As a young writer I understand that in order for people to see and hear you, one must have a regular online presence. As intimidating and risky as this seems, without it you simply don’t exist on the same levels of society anymore. 
There are many platforms and resources for writers to use now that didn’t exist 10 years ago. For example, I have read many more online articles for school, work, and pure fascination in my educational career than I have ever read physical copies of. Without trying, we come across several sources that provide written text for consumers to completely eat up. More and more writers are getting hired to formulate the words that coincide with apps, journals, ads, social media, etc. A lot of people believe that when everything can exist in a small device held in the palm of their hands, why would they possibly need junk like books to take up space after they are done receiving what they need to from it? As collecting books and magazine as a pastime outdates itself due people’s greater concern for the wave of technology, the resulting decline in book sales pressures the writing industry to mold into something more relevant to the desires of the general public in today’s smartphone-obsessed generation. In order for writers to make progress in this industry modernly and connect to as many people as possible, they must compose their work in multiple different forms of medias for readers to reach and perceive them through. 
It’s no secret that humans have different tastes and preferences, but a lot of us commonly find the most stimulation in visuals. For literary minds, the line between having fully text-heavy works versus the combination of words and pictures rarely gets crossed outside the genres of picture books and poetry. However, coming across a huge chunk of text-only can be very discouraging for readers, especially because we don’t usually have to put in very much mental energy when receiving mostly graphics followed by only a few words (like a caption) here and there. Coming up with an innovative way to produce written word that applies to all of the different kinds of people out there in the form that they can successfully interpret could mean new-writers will have to adjust how they create and combine various contents.
Networking has become such an essential part of finding a job, regardless of the field you pursue. Websites like LinkedIn that allow you to meet other experts in your area working towards the same plans as you has created one of the best ways to utilize the internet for professional gain. In this world, a lot of victory comes from who you know and word of mouth, so it makes perfect sense to network socially as much as possible when searching for your next career.
For me personally, I still feel a little behind when it comes to technology due to the old-fashioned nature I find myself most comfortable in. I am realizing more and more how important it is for me, as a writer, to break out of this comfort zone and experiment in the realm of internet and social networking. Whether we have any control of it or not, those already proficient in technology and internet-exposure find themselves several steps ahead of anyone doing the opposite and staying complacent by avoiding it. Making yourself known on the internet has become a big part of our culture, and similar to the social aspect of how it makes you more memorable for friends and the people you come across through experiences, the same can be said about employers and the employees they choose to hire.
