We’ve managed to successfully cannibalize real life human interactions by replacing them with social networks and gadgets. I am myself guilty of contributing to the development of mobile apps and social networks in my professional life.

This year after graduating Anahita from the Mozilla WebFWD program and being coached by people such as Dia Bondi I’ve become more interested in the concept of story telling as a means of communicating complex subjects with people.

If you are attending too, come and find me.
