to this essay, technology is turning some classic plot devices obsolete. Such as, missed connections, miscommunications, and so on. The writer of this essay speaks for Odysseus: can someone look up the Ithaca? Use the " no Sirens" route, please.It is humorous to think if Odysseus could used GPS or Google Map, he would go back to the Ithaca
smoothly, and he would not cause his family and comrades so much pain. However, is it interesting to read the story if homesick characters from the distant foreign land to the hometown can be instantly or constantly? Actually, many writers, in present days or days of old, are just rejecting modernity. As Kamran Pasha, a writer, agrees that" we want a world where there's distance between people; that's where great storytelling comes from." I think this idea is right because when two separated characters meet each other after going through a long journey, the "aha" moment ("Aha, you are here!") would become significant.
