“I've always thought that one of the things that the Internet and the gaming world permits as a narrative technique is to not tell the story from beginning to end - to tell stories sideways, to give alternative possibilities that the reader can, in a way, choose between.” WorldWayGivingEndsStoriesPossibilityReaderInternetTechniqueAlternativesNarrativePermitGamingSideways Author:Salman Rushdie

“A democracy survives when its citizens have access to trustworthy and impartial sources of information, when it can discern lies from truth. Take this away and a democracy dies. The fusion of news and entertainment, the rise of a class of celebrity journalists on television who define reporting by their access to the famous and the powerful, the retreat by many readers into the ideological ghettos of the Internet and the ruthless drive by corporations to destroy the traditional news business are leaving us deaf, dumb and blind.” LyingDiesPowerfulClassDemocracyInformationTelevisionSourceReaderInternetCitizensNewsBlindLeavingEntertainmentAccessTraditionalDumbJournalistCorporationsRetreatDeafRuthlessIdeologicalGhettoTrustworthyFusion Author:Chris Hedges

I think Internet technology has really upended that whole equation because in some ways a designer's work is never really done online.” ThinkingWayEndsDoneWholeHandsTechnologyPiecesCenturyDesignReaderInternetProjectsSolutionsCustomersDesignerOnline20th CenturyEquationsPostersInternet TechnologyBrochures Author:Khoi Vinh
