Storytelling; the act of telling stories… DUH.

When someone says storytelling I think of people sitting around a fire telling stories of the past, present, or future. I think of someone accounting things that may or may not be true. I think of small children, engaged in a fantasy world that will forever shape their images of the real world. Storytelling is something scared, something that will never go away. There will always be ways for people to “story tell”.

Digital Storytelling… Making up one’s story and posting it on the web? I honestly have no clue. Honestly, when someone says Digital Storytelling it makes me think of Fan Fictions.  As nerdy as that is. HAH (Not saying I haven’t read/written a few). Digital storytelling goes beyond that though, it goes beyond the reaches of my mind. I think as technology develops, we will shy away from the standard practice of storytelling and venture more into the digital age.

I hope in the not so distant future when all things have digitalized, we continue the “olden” style of storytelling. The one that standardized storytelling. The passing on of stories by mouth.
