how digital storytelling revolutionize narrative experience

One thing I saw great thing about digital storytelling is that the audience can understand the storytellers' feeling and what messages they want to give to the audience easily and directly with the aid of images and background sound. After I have watched some video clips about digital storytelling, I found out that I really like that kind of storytelling and got more understanding about the goal of the story more than I got from reading the whole book.
The difference I found between listening to the story that a person is telling to the audience and the narrator of the digital one is that the person who tell a story can only make audience to picture the scene of the story. Therefore, there can be some questions of "Why, Who,How" and the storyteller can answer the questions but for the digital one, the audience cannot ask questions directly and there is no direct contact between storytellers and the audience.

However, there are many good things about digital storytelling that can make revolutionize the narrative experiences. Digital storytelling changes people feel different about lives and identities. We can tell and make audience know our feeling level directly.For narrators, they can be aware of making their stories more meaningful and teach a lesson or moral and may make someone to change the way u feel or think in the end.Also, narrators can remember the moment they had experienced about their stories by sharing the feeling about that particular moment. Including images, narrative tone level and background music can be considered as conveying another way of  sending message of the story's meaning and feeling absolute understanding of the story because the combination of image and sound will give people more descriptive meaning about the story.
All in all, it is really amazing that within few minutes, people can make the short points of the story they want to tell to the audience with creative presentation and the audience can get to know the purpose of the storyteller and about the story easily and quickly as well.
