Awaiting NY Times' "Year in Ideas"

I’d say that one of my favorite sources of tech trends is the NY Times Magazine’s “Year in Ideas” issue.  For the past 10 years, it’s compiled the biggest breakthrough trends, crazy-but-could-work concepts, and tech trends.  It’s a tremendously captivating issue, and is more often than not a look into the future of consumer products and technology.

Last year’s issue came out December 19th, so we should see the 11th annual edition in the next two weeks.

SYLLABUS


Welcome to an experiment in participatory storytelling. As I gear up for a course I'll be teaching at Columbia University, I've decided to open my teaching process. I've established this tumblr and will soon be joined by the class for what I hope will become an ongoing collection of thoughts, projects, tech and ideas as they pertain to storytelling in the 21st Century.

I'm hard at work on a trilogy of participatory storytelling projects with the first one entitled, Robot Heart Stories launching this fall. I wish to explore the realities of the connected world we live in and what that means for storytelling. I'm especially interested in the changing role of authorship and its impact on the birth of a collective narrative. In this spirit I'm bringing the class in to this tumblr to share all things story.

Finally this tumblr will also tie into a book I've been working on entitled Building Storyworlds: the art, craft & biz of storytelling in 21C. The book is the basis of the course at Columbia and is an experiment in scarcity vs. digital abundance.
