Goals of a Digital Autobiography Platform
- Easy to get started - helps you collect details about your life by interviewing you and creating a first cut of your autobiography quickly (gets you to wkd 2 FAST! :)
- fun for children - takes advantage of touch screen interface and gestures
- Infinitely expandable - people upgrade, expand and transform their personal autobiographies ongoingly
- Builds community
- being a contribution to our Social Commons
- actively connects our originating circles together.
- presences the community what they have to provide as a whole. a visitor from the UK is immediately present to what LA has to offer, for example.
- genealogy tool of the future - kids get related to their parents - connects generations
- identifies [[cultural creatives]] - those that have a passion for bridging cultures
- Easy to share - presents information in a way grandma & grandpa get it (think: turning pages of a book) yet magically interactive
