If you’re like me, you tend to get a little antsy on planes. This airborne anxiety has nothing to do with a fear of heights or screaming babies, but rather idle time.
It would be foolish to discuss storytelling in the 21st century without giving a nod to Facebook, the social media juggernaut that, with its status updates, notes, wall posts, “likes,” etc., has changed the way we communicate and turned the stuff of our daily lives into bite-sized stories.
It comes in many forms. You likely do it every day, perhaps sometimes without even noticing. If you read the title of this post before clicking on it, you know that I’m not describing eating—or whatever else may have just popped into your head. (If you care to share, please feel free to do so in the comments.) Storytelling, a basic unit of connection, is one of the great joys of humanity.
