Best of Both Worlds...

Technobiophilia is GREAT!!!!! It gives use users the visual stimulation our minds need, when we can't feasibly attain it. When applying visuals of nature our mind is somewhat taken aback because of the setting. Usually when your on a computer you are indoors. When you can visually see the outdoors, which is a necessity, it temporarily satisfies the need for people. For the moment nature might not be able to be attained so the visual is a fix to help get the person to nature. For those who are opposed don't see it as a temporary fix. They may assume that with the visualization of nature some will just begin to be opposed to ever going into nature. Yes, that is a possibility but it is all dependent on the person. For most I believe the visualization will cease to satisfy the need, and just become a motivational desire to complete tasks.

Digital storytelling as a modern art...

When I think of what 'digital storytelling' is, and what it can be I think of a museum. I think of a museum because, museums display a various array of art pieces that all have a different meaning to each of its viewers.

I feel that digital storytelling is the next major format for artistic expression. Because with technology there is already a variety of ways to express information. Then after one were to display their information its then up to those who access the info to interpret it.

I feel that technology is the next artistic tool because its available to everyone, there's some controversy about how revealing and proactive people can be with it, and soon enough it will be outdated. Technology and digital storytelling displays the same characteristics of other major artistic outlet, in relation to their time, that is why for now digital storytelling is the trendy art expression for the 2000s until the next outlet is found.
