thanks to interfaces“readers” are no more passive: they can beinvolved in the creative process.whether they are good “author” or not

In 2000, in some science fiction forums appears john titor. heclaims to be a soldier coming from 2036 with a time machine tosave the world. his character is so consistent and credible thatother users start to ask him questions about life in the future did they believe him? talking with him they contribute to the credibility

we are surrounded by unprofessional storytellers and they are crazy to live and tell stories interfaces allow them to express themselvesin a short, quick, easy way (like in the social networks)

the Twitter status makes us get used tosummarize our feelings and events in one sentence (140 characters)

daily fragments make long stories

or shorter stories ;)

why we (teachers)have to deal with interfaces?

we have to face a brand new way to deal with stories.readers are changing

Sometime late last year -- I dont remember when, exactly -- I noticed I was having trouble sitting down to read.David UlinBook editor of Los Angeles Times

“readers” are busy

in the long run a medium’s content matter less than the medium itself in influencing how we think and act.The Shallows: How the Internet is Changing the Way We Think, Read and Remember Nicholas Carr

“readers” areimmersed in afaster,wider,and morecomplicated world

“readers” want to be part of a creative process

books are not dead, nor dying, or ever will diebut they are no more alone in collecting, sharing and conserving stories

New opportunities will come to pass onlyif control of the technology is taken fromthe technologist and given to those who understand human beings, human interaction, communication, pleasure and pain. It is time for engineers to go back to engineering. To develop thesenew technologies, we need a new breed of creative individuals, most likely those associated with poetry, writing, and theatrical directionDonald Norman 1991
