Star Wars: Article Analysis

Storytelling is something that we’ve seen throughout the years. Up to a point I do agree with the authors concerns about mediated storytelling. For example, she explains how fully invested fans want to see every movie, buy every toy figure and be fully involved. “So, for example, fully invested fans of Star Wars would want to own every toy, see every film, read every related book, and become familiar with all the emerging media affiliated with it, such as video games, Facebook fan pages, and regional gatherings” (Wagner, 2012). This is true and each day more people will crave entry into it and pay more money. The reality is that the author does have good statements explaining how society is very dependent on social media and technology but

she does overstress some of the points.
I believe that implications of a world where all storytelling is mediated through technology could be good and bad I mean too much of anything is never good there has to be a balance. The reality is that technology can actually affect in ways like not having a conversation in person. The author said something that’s very true and important we become so infatuated with technology that we feel like we can’t function without it.
I believe religion plays a major role through storytelling because through technology we can share our religious beliefs with the whole world. The internet has a lot of helpful information on religion that otherwise we wouldn’t know about. For some people religion has been their strength and support and through technology this can be shared because the article explains that storytelling is a form of entertainment. I believe that technology will keep developing over the years and that each day the human will depend more on it.
