First, I do believe that Shakespeare does deserve the credit that he has been bestowed hundreds of years after his death. It certainly must take a lot of talent and determination to write a play or collection of poems, let alone composing really good ones. Especially since they are still referred to in this day and age.
Second, I think that Shakespeare could have survived in today's high-tech world. It is with frightening ease that we can send and recieve information, even on a global scale. It would be much easier for his plays to be heard about, shown and praised with the internet and other media that we have today.
Third, I am not 100% confident that a 20th or 21st century author could come up to par with The Bard. Writing styles of this day are different than they were when Shakespeare was alive. The world has undergone some growth. The language that we write and speak, though fundamentally the same, has changed as well. So, no, I don't belive that any modern writers could compare with Shakespeare because they are so different already that it would be unfair to compare the two.
