To me,

Story telling is a manner in which an experience, idea, or event is passed between two parties. Now when you introduce the digital part to storytelling, new mediums of communication are introduced, a story can simply be told with a picture or a video, reaching a much greater audience. The main difference is the intimacy of a story between people, a digital story you can’t quite grasp the storytellers demeanor and non-verbal communication. When I think of “Digital storytelling” I think of social media first such as Facebook ” the story of a person” or a blog .
