EDITION, THE (INTERNET COLLECTION)
Summary
One in this internet radio series that features dialogue about popular culture. In this episode, host Don Wrege broadcasts live from the Fourth Annual Digital Storytelling Festival in Crescent Butte, Colorado. He opens by playing a recording of the Festival's keynote address, which was delivered earlier in the day by Vivid Studios president Nathan Shedroff. Shedroff discusses the significance of the massive rise in popularity of "personal" websites. After Shedroff's speech, Wrege welcomes his first guest: twenty-three-year-old "web legend" Justin Hall. Hall, according to Wrege, is considered one of the early pioneers of the internet: Hall created a website called "Justin's Links" in the early 1990s that set the template for personal web pages to come. Wrege's next guest, Dr. Brenda Laurel, has also been in the computer business for many years. After working an actress in the theater, Laurel took a job in 1977 working for Atari, and she now designs interactive video games for little girls. After this interview, Wrege speaks from the floor of the festival with Apple Computers executive Creighton Nulty. The two men discuss the company's new "iMac" computer, which was unveiled at the Festival, and Nulty tells Wrege that he finds that "creative people prefer Mac." Wrege also speaks with Festival curator Harry Marks about some of the other technological advancements and innovations over the last ten years that led to the founding of the Digital Storytelling Festival. The tape ends with a special report from Salon.com senior editor Scott Rosenberg on the meaning of digital storytelling. Includes a commercial.
