Read you a story? What fun would that be? I’ve got a better idea: let’s tell a story together.<\/p>\n\u2014 Photopia<\/a> <\/a>by Adam Cadre<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Do you think of scrolling as a more modern way of reading than turning pages in a book? Nope, the concept originated in ancient Egypt, and it\u2019s older than what we now classify as books. It\u2019s based on how our ancestors read ancient physical scrolls<\/a>, the earliest form of editable text in the history of writing. I am Jewish, so I remember my earliest non-digital scrolling experience was horizontally scrolling the Torah<\/a>, which can be more immersive<\/a> than traditionally scrolling a webpage. The physical actions to navigate texts have captured the imagination of many a storyteller, leading authors to gamify the act of turning pages<\/a> and to create stories that incorporate the physical actions of opening a book and turning pages<\/a> as part of the narrative<\/a>. However, innovative experiences using non-standard scrolling haven\u2019t been explored as thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
