ABSTRACT
STORYTELLING: AN ANCIENT HUMAN ACTIVITY Storytelling is a magical and powerful craft. Not only can it transport the audience on a thrilling journey into an imaginary world, but it can also reveal the dark secrets of human behavior or inspire the audience with the desire to do noble deeds. Storytelling can also be pressed into service for other human goals: to teach and train the young, for example, or to convey important information. Although digital storytelling is humankind’s newest way to enjoy narrative entertainment, it is part of this same great tradition.
