How will emerging technologies impact storytelling?

I see the answer being two-fold. On a slightly negative side, there is the ongoing ethical issues that technology continues to bring up as new innovative tools are invented and put out for public use. Take this blog for instance. I created this blog (my first one!) to use to share with this class. If a member of the class chooses to forward the link to my blog to some one else, I would welcome it. However, what if I did not want any of my classmates to share the link to my blog - even if it is an innocent act of sharing some good idea I have included here? I control the majority of this blog content, but not all of it. I can not control others actions, and that is the negative side of emerging technology - trust in those who use it, not to abuse it.

On a positive side, I see excitement in new advances all the time! Users love to have the power to be their own master of a digital story. Much as we have experienced using the tools we learned to use in this class. It is fun, and fun to hear, read, or view what others have taken the time to create as master of their own story using the emerged technology. What was not even conceived as possible decades ago, is steam rolling full force into future innovations. I think technology is and will be used to become more efficient for users and more user-friendly for novices. For instance I used my smartphone to video tape an interview for my final project. Fifteen years ago, I did not have a smartphone, and the cell phone I had did not record video. I am now able to travel and record a story. I am now able to connect what is on my phone with a laptop and tablet to create a digital story. I am now able to sync sites to build upon my story making it richer and fuller. I can only imagine what new technologies will allow me to do in the future...I wonder where it will take us?
