- B. J. Abraham says she feels that storytelling is a "low-tech art in a high-tech world."
Video recording of an interview with Georgia storyteller B. J. Abraham in which she discusses storytelling and technology. She sits in a high-backed wooden rocking chair placed on a porch. She faces forward. She first says that she feels that storytelling is a "low-tech art in a high-tech world." She asserts that many people are longing for a face-to-face connection with other humans in spite of the many electronic media through which people can communicate. She notes that responses are often delayed when communicating through this media, and intimate human interaction is instantaneous. She finally states that the audience members, when listening to a story, often feel that the interaction is one-on-one. - Metadata URL:
