Digital Stories

     Digital stories in academia hold some value in academia for a couple reasons. They can help us predict the future based on what happened in the past so we don't repeat our mistakes. They also help us take a look back into the history of previous events so we can study more in depth about them. Digital stories outside of academia hold more value because of the different ways it helps us. They can entertain us in our free time or if they are really interesting. They can be healing if they are used in support groups or in churches for inspiration to the rest of us. They can also be used for sentimental purposes, such as stories on a past relative or if someone has just died and we want to display the wonderful parts of their lives. Bottom line, digital stories have their purposes in academia, but they have so much more useful purposes outside of the academic world.
