21. Story is a tool for articulating a why. It is a
format that we have evolved to understand.
Stories are a vessel for our empathy. They
allow us to share emotion.

25. Technology is a glittering lure but there is
the rare occasion when the public can be
engaged on a level beyond flash. If they
have a sentimental bond with the product.
