Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T) Media Lab have announced the creation of a Centre for Future Storytelling.

The goal is to create “a sort of living story that can continue to evolve and shape depending on who is listening to it and how they can derive meaning from it.”

Amongst the technologies that they are investigating will be Everything Tells A Story: A project that will enable everyday objects to keep running “diaries,” of what happened to them. The information could be used for “personal story creation” by individuals.

Could this technology develop into a self writing e-portfolio?
