Increasingly, the convenience of distributed communication through cell phones, e-mail, the World-Wide Web, camcorders, and wired households informs and affects the character of the e-society that we are discussing here. One theme of digital life has to do with extending the language of connectivity and storytelling. Before jumping into this and other appropriate themes, I would like to say a few things about storytelling and my own journey into digital life via documentary filmmaking. I will follow this introduction with some observations about emerging philosophic recognition of today's e-society. Finally, I will look at how these technical trends combine with social trends to create a more sociable interface for audiovisual storytelling applications.
