Living History Telling a story of Ethel
Ethel has collected many photos, or letters to
represent her eighty-five years of life. One day,
an idea to create the storybook of her life has
come to her mind.
She gathers all of her old photos, letters,
newspaper clippings, concert tickets, etc., and
scans them with the Living History tablet one
after another.
Once all artifacts has been scanned, she uses a
pen, and her fingers, to drag and drop the images
to create the pages of the scrapbook. Organizing
them chronologically, she decorates the pages and
the picture frames herself.
Choosing a page from her Living History
database, she tells a story behind the scene
through the microphone, thus making this
scrapbook more lively, personal, and meaningful.
On the next holiday when her children and
grandchildren have visited her, she opens her
tablet and shows her digital scrapbook to them.
Her grandchildren really like listening the story
of grandma, which is much more fun rather than
storybooks they have.
She has uploaded her scrapbook to the Living
History online community. She found some of her
friends who have never met each other since they
were little children. Now they share Living
History on the Net, filling the gap during the
time they are separated.
