The argument of this talk is that story telling has evolved over time. He begins by talking originally stories were just boring books, but then Lothar came along. He created the pop up children's book. Then he talked about other types of story telling including the opera, radio news, film, and then even to social media.
I chose to look at this Ted Talk because I thought the idea of story telling through technology would be interesting.
PURPOSE: I think the purpose of this talk was to show that we witness storytelling in our everyday life, even if we don't notice it. I think he is hoping to have us realize that there are stories all around us and to appreciate them.
ETHOS, LOGOS, PATHOS
I think pathos are the most evident in this Ted Talk. He uses music to evoke our emotions. He also talks about childhood and makes us remember the things we did during childhood, like reading pop up books.
I like the idea of storytelling as something that has evolved over time but has kept the basic idea of sharing. It's an important aspect of our society that we are separating from practices of the past and applying old ideas to new technologies and new ways of thinking. This TED Talk helps call to attention the natural occurance of these changes and how although the oral telling of stories may decrease, movies and radio will continue to prosper until the technology changes and new methods come along. I liked how you mentioned this evolution.
