I've found this to be true from personal experience, people tend to loyal to different platforms, however I disagree with using as it a metaphor for learning world literature. Comparing the physical transition from a keyboard to a controller to learning another language doesn't make sense, as coordination doesn't translate across platform tools, whereas language is very interconnected and learning French then learning Spanish is quite related and thus learning one would aid the learning of another. Learning to use a keyboard would hinder the progress of learning to use a controller. In both instances I have personal experience i'm fluent in french and spanish is very fimilar, im loyal to keyboard and mouse and find using a controller very difficult

It is frightening that something untrue has the ability to ruins someones work within minutes. The internet has the ability to give some many opportunities, but one never really knows who is on the other side of the screen waiting to tear down what you have worked for.

Literary texts can be made more intense by using technology, for example, by converting them into literal hypertexts and presenting different notes information, unanswered questions, main ideas and relationships .

As long as you have the necessary digital technology to connect, people can share and develop stories with each other through the use of enhanced communication without having to deal with real-world obstacles.

Making stories accessible digitally, or telling them through a digital media can further enhance the story as more people are able to consume and comment on it in a more digital community setting

A comprehensive review of children with learning disabilities in written expression has revealed several factors that may aggravate the insufficient information in their compositions. Digital story telling has the ability to address those components and aid those with different needs.

Digital stories have the ability to capture the attention of many viewers. Digital stories can be a great outlet for those who have short attention spans and have a difficulty with reading because they are unable to create a visual image.

Obtaining the media or stories contained in these pre-web gadgets can be difficult for individuals who live remotely or have poor access to them. For instance, the price of a typical novel in a bookstore can range from $10 to $30. It becomes extremely expensive and time-consuming to get these pre-digital sources if you need many stories or information pieces from them (Trying to get the full picture of a story, looking for stories and information for school)  I think that saving stories digitally also lowered the amount of resources used to create these different products, for example a Kobo reader is filled with 'empty data', however that data is translatable into thousands of books. Are digital technologies and data really empty? Of course, many stories are best conveyed using pre digital materials as some paintings, vinyl records, and books from different stories each function as a piece of the overall narrative. However, I believe that many other kinds of stories are best shared online.

I think that meaningful data can be developed. Technically, every piece of data is produced for a particular reason, and one of those reasons could be to tell stories more effectively, abundantly, and freely to a wider audience. A story would be meaningless if no one heard it, wouldn't it? I contend that by making the story available digitally, more individuals can access it and give it their own interpretations, which I  think increases the story's significance. In essence, this provides the data even more value since more consumers can assign meaning to the data based on the story, meaning, or lack thereof.

I like the way that the author used to organize the storyline, which is to have the beginning, the story develops, climax and ends. By organizing the story in this, the designer will have space to introduce the current problem in the beginning. It avoids the situation that the designer brings out the design at the very beginning, which leaves less space for the readers to think carefully about the problem thus makes the solution less convinced. The climax of the story serves as a good way to stress the product's function and leave a deep impression on the readers. And the end of the story will present the result or the goal that has been achieved. It leaves the space for readers to have their reflection on the whole process and evaluate the story critically. I found this way of organizing the storyline very useful when I am creating my own storyboards. (Xu)

This part perfectly described my experience of working on the Homework5. In this homework, we are asked to sketch 5 workflows to convey our design and solution. And we need to tell a good story within those 5 sketches. I found this process very inspiring. When I finished the 8 designs for the last week, the only thing I could think about is how people are going to use those products. However, the initial ideas lacked the context. I didn't think much about in which context would people use certain products. Telling a story to present the workflow helps me to put myself into the story. It is like what the author said, "to fill the gap". Since a good story must have a beginning and endpoint, I need to think carefully about how this certain design would come into the users' lives. This process helps me to find out that different types of design might attract different types of users. For instance, a design that allows only audio input and output might best attract users with visual impairment. The process of telling a story helps me to think in-depth and image the real using scenarios of the design. (Xu)
