"These changes require a shift in attitude and a new understanding of the technology that's currently coming out and in development. A lot of work needs to be done to usher the entertainment industry into this age, but also to make people who are building the technology more aware of the vitality of that dialogue."
The same "transmedia" storytelling used by entertainment and advertising to sustain audience engagement with memorable experiences can also be used effectively by the military.

It transcends a single medium by taking the notion of breaking up a narrative arc into multiple discrete chunks or installments and spreading those disparate ideas or story chunks across multiple media platforms. ...Heroes on NBC is often cited as a great pop-culture example of transmedia in practice. Mimicking the aesthetic style and storytelling conventions of American comic books (using multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc), the series used digital technologies to deepen the audience experience and carry the story through various mediums, ultimately making the characters more compelling and memorable. A digital web series, Heroes 360 Experience, was created to explore the Heroes universe and build the show’s mythology. Other official Heroes media included print publications, action figures, tie-in and interactive websites, and a mobile game. NBC Digital Entertainment released a series of online content in 2008, including more original web content, wireless iTV interactivity, graphic novels available for mobile viewing, and webisodes.
In a promotion called Create Your Hero (sponsored by Sprint), fans were called on to vote on personality and physical attributes for the creation of a new hero character for an original, live-action series that ran on NBC.com.
The result: A brand franchise that tells a much richer story than the primary text upon which the brand was built....

To survive this complex new form of literature, a new grammar will need to be found. >To take advantage of this a new grammar of storytelling has to emerge, just as a grammar of cinema had to be invented 100 years ago. That grammar has not yet been fully defined, any more than the grammar of cinema was clearly defined in 1912 — but clearly it’s going to be nonlinear, it’s going to be participatory, and it’s going to be immersive.
