The
         Role Of A Community Arts Aesthetic In The Information
         Technology Revolution 

         
         


         

         
         
I woke up
         one morning thinking about why
         I do my work as a teacher of digital storytelling. I found
         myself staring, as parents do, at my little boy Massimo
         sleeping in his crib.

         
         
He is born in the information age. His
         will be the age of computing ubiquity, of virtual culture,
         of nanotechnologies for medicine and industry, of personal
         intelligent agents representing his ideas, interests and
         desires to the global cyberagora of products, services and
         political representation.

         
         
Even knowing that, we can predict very
         little about the shape of Massimo's future, what will be his
         pleasures, what things will he most fear. And we certainly
         can not guess how his values will be shaped by these
         emerging technologies.

         
         
In my mind's eye, I see Massimo at 105
         years old. In the year 2100, he staring back across the
         century. I am certain that he will have at his disposal an
         enormous personal database of memory artifacts, of pictures,
         sounds, video, holograms, and re-constructions of events
         that can assist him to remember.

         
         
But who will have taught him the value
         of remembrance?
