We hear of some new technology everyday but how often do we hear about some good poetry, art or literature?
It does not even interest many of us. I am surprised that even on this site where there are so many users topics related to such subjects are very few, that too very old. Mostly poeple are interested in technology and jobs and politics. Is art and literature lagging far behind in this techno-world? Please give your explanation along with opinion.

We need to work and stay in touch with new technologies. We need to be aware about our political condition. Art and literature donnot fall in the mandatory requirements for us, so we do ot give any importance to them.

Technology is also an art & expressed through literature. It would be wrong to limit the scope of art & literature

Very well said .Education , itself has a deep meaning. Its not only developing your technical skills.Its aims in overall development of human.Art and literature are having there own importance as it imparts rational thinking.Indeed it is only which help us to distinguish between us(Humans ) and machines.

It's true because in the present day world only the values tose matter are money and status. Art and literature contribute to a person to make him more rational, wise having bigger horizon more imaginations and creativity among people and nature. All these have been sustituted by behavioural studies in industrialyy and technically advanced age but these studies are never contributing to ethical and aesthtical improvement in asensitive way. in other words not sensitizing people for becoming more humanists.

In a materialistic world what that adds value in money or revenue is considered important these days. When people had lots of time to probe into the other aspects of literature and pure science earlier, are not showing interest. A cycle is on may be after some time whn more engineers and doctors are there and there are no avenues for them to serve the people then may be the litereature type aesthetic arts will flourish. yet it is appreciated to those who choose literature even now after all these scientific development.

We have only a few recognised bodies in the country, viz., Sahitya Akademi, Sangeet Natak Akademi, Bhartiya Jnanpith, Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts, Modern Arts Gallery, etc. Most of their true master pieces are projected by the Documentary and Film Makers. Doordarshan provides them a great platform in all forms of art and literature. Yes. We need to do more in order to keep alive our original art form and the literature in many languages. What is missing is Library for Visually Blind People - a lot of literature, viz., Rabindra Nath Tagore's, Sarojini Naidu's, Mahakavi Subrahmanya Bharati's books and various other literary work should be converted into Braille for the purpose of their benefit. Technology can help in producing all these documents in the audio-book format for their use!

Yes! The art and literature is lagging behind because people keep less interest on this topic. Such situation arises when any civilization reached its peak and falling rapidly. We are growing or developing very fast to reach to an end. The art and literature have no role in negative growth.

It looks natural that in the Kaliyug art and literature are vanishing and computers and softwares are taking lead.This is the time for cheap 'filmi' songs that everyone can enjoy in concert. It is strange to quote about an incident I recently confronted. Some young students were dancing to their full tune on the song 'Sheela Ki Jawani' inside a private school van that was standing on the side of the road. I had no surprise because this is the natural standing in the society. I am of the strong feeling that it is very difficult revive poetry and art among people now when everyone is looking for money and money only.Thinking is perverted. God save us.

Technology being the species and offspring of literature has to be advanced in spirit. Art has always been on the back seat. Its rather a parallel domain which is mutually exclusive.

no . It is that the people those are associated with it only know about it . People from other discipline may just give it a wage imagination and explanation without knowing the details of the same... Well it has flourished at compatible rate and is still growing.

I agree with the point that science is also art. There is something artistic about how a new product is designed.

 

There may also be a lot of art which goes unnoticed, untapped or unpublicized. There may be a great mixed media exhibition in one's city which one may not be aware of, because it doesn't have sponsors or get the publicity.

no definetely not

We feel like that only because we dont take interest in art like waht we take in science and technology.

We use the technology in our life but we dont feel art.

 

thats the reason
