Abstract
History suggests that when technological advances become available at the right price, they become ubiquitous and spin out into other inventions. In the process they generate new ways of thinking. Over the last 100 years, technological advance and communication forms have developed a kinship. Telephone, motion picture camera and projector, radio and television, Minitel and the Internet, and cellular phones are some examples of the rapid pace of innovation. As media becomes digital, we are witnessing a confluence of trends which invite the invention of new forms. These forms highlight personalization at all levels of the information and entertainment spectrum.

How will this technology impact the art of storytelling?
