Digital technology affords museums and other cultural heritage institutions an opportunity to generate powerful new visitor experiences. Now, museums can invite visitors to co-create the cannon and participate in ways that reflect ancient methods of storytelling and information sharing.

4. "More than a boundary or a sealed border,
the paratext is, rather, a threshold."
It is "a zone between text and off-text, a zone not
only of transition but also of transaction: a
privileged place of pragmatics and a strategy, of
an influence on the public, an influence that ... is
at the service of a better reception for the text and
a more pertinent reading of it.”
"...a fringe of the printed text which in reality
controls one's whole reading of the text".

5. “If the lights go out in the museum and all the WiFi
hotspots and screens go dark, we might lose the
physical technology infrastructure, but we do not
lose the powerful participatory, networked, open
source culture that has taken root in our audiences
and communities in the 21st century. In this regard,
digital technology cannot simply fall away.”

11. “Man will see around the world. Persons and things of all kinds will
be brought within focus of cameras connected electrically with
screens at opposite ends of circuits, thousands of miles at a span…
The instrument bringing these distant scenes to the very doors of
people will be connected with a giant telephone apparatus
transmitting each incidental sound in its appropriate place.”

“Wholly new forms of encyclopedias
will appear, ready made with a mesh
of associative trails running through
them… There is a new profession of
trail blazers, those who find delight in
the task of establishing useful trails
through the enormous mass of the
common record.”

The promise of digital is this:
To provide means of sharing information and story
telling which leverage the benefits of both orality
and print in fluid physical and experiential modes.

18. Interaction Design (IxD)
defines the structure and
behavior of interactive
systems. Interaction
Designers strive to create
meaningful relationships
between people and the
products and services that
they use, from computers to
mobile devices to appliances
and beyond.
