Technology enables various tasks and situations to become easier, faster and they reach wider network as well. It also makes impossible things materialize and become a reality. Now, technology has infiltrated every nook and cranny of a human’s life. In the past, it was believed that literature could not be adapted to technology. Nevertheless, technology is required to create a wider space, in a faster and easier method in order to propel literature into greater heights. Slowly, the older way of appreciating literature is no longer suitable to be kept for a prolonged duration of time. With the emergence of smartphones, numerous applications are developed to ease a poet or an author in their quest to produce literary materials in the form of the latest literature. This study will discuss the use of smart phones’ applications which serve the authors in the process of producing poems or short stories
