“Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to

share is the need to be understood.” - Leo Rosten

10,000+ years ago this is how we communicated!

And now?

Share your byte-sized narrative!

Where did/will you share today?

“… young people are reading and writing more than I ever did at their age, but they are doing it using their computers

and mobile phones … The mobile is central, and will

become even more so as time goes by.” - David Crystal

The most exciting breakthroughs of the 21st

century will not occur because of technology but because of an expanding concept of what it means

to be human. - John Naisbitt
