That's so interesting, LucaVanin. We do tend to take our own cultural language for granted, and maybe that is also the lesson in storytelling. Check how it sounds in a different language. I so appreciate everyone's comments, too. Hopefully this sheet will be helpful.

Google Glass isn’t ready for prime time. Even Google knows this, which is why it hasn't shipped to the masses yet. Instead, Google floated a few units to “Explorers,” glorified guinea pigs who can enjoy the joys and trials of this cuttingest edge of cutting edge technologies. But nascent or not, Glass exists, and it works. Or at least it "works." Developers are still getting their feet wet, high-profile apps like Twitter and Facebook feel more like experiments than finished products, and bugs aren’t the exception, they’re the rule. But, you know, the thing turns on, and hears you say "Okay, Glass," and eagerly awaits your next command. Beyond the home screen, it’s up to Glass Explorers to wade through the good apps, the bad apps, and the broken apps, and we're right there with them. We went exploring, and this is what Glass can do; right here, right now. Via EBUZZ Delete the scoop?

Rudolf Kabutz's insight:
Media is becoming so much more a part of our lives. Apparently about 90% of all the data recorded on the lunar rocket flights in the 1970s has never been analysed. Will we generate so much data with our cameras that fill storage systems but is never used or analysed?

Tracey Lien: "In most video games, players are entrusted with performing actions: run, jump, shoot, swing, slash, crouch and curb-stomp. The developer sets the scene, establishes the context and the player is released into the world with an arsenal of actions. In Loveshack Entertainment's Framed, things work the other way around."

Reminds me of Led Zeppelin's _In Through the Out Door_ interior album jackets. I realized a few years ago that story arc is particular to the character's point of view, and should be talked about in that way, so this really adds a dimension to the analysis that could help students imagine stories from multiple perspectives.

While Apple, Samsung, Nokia and BlackBerry slug it out for the top end of the smartphone market, there is an interesting battle going on a few rungs down.
Currently, most cellphones being sold are so-called feature phones, many of which can't access the internet, but projections are that this will soon be overtaken by smartphones as their costs come down.

Fabrizio Capobianco’s family is very passionate about sports, soccer in particular. His father doesn’t miss a match, and his brother signs on to Skype so they can watch matches together virtually. On one such occasion, Capobianco noticed that they were yelling at the screen at the same time, and from there, the idea for TOK.tv was born. TOK.tv has built a second screen app that is used to talk live with friends while watching TV with a device in your lap. “We’re bringing a voice to the second screen. We allow you to talk to your friends while you watch live TV,” Capobianco, CEO of TOK.tv, explains. “If you’re watching baseball and there is a homerun, currently you can go on Facebook or Twitter, and write ‘home run!!’ or do it over a text message. We believe when there’s a home run, you want to scream that out.” Delete the scoop?
