the initial post. the question + sub questions.

my degree project question at this point is:

How can an interactive system facilitate + enhance individuals coming together to share stories and emotionally connect?

sub questions:

How can the addition of imagery, verbal and written word enhance the connection capacity between storyteller and audience?

How can you further connect with the storyteller after they told their story?

How can you keep both types of users (young + older/storyteller + viewer/commenter) engaged in conversations with the opposite?
