StoryCorps is an online company that isn't really a company. They are a group of people who's sole purpose is recording and preserving people's stories. Here is their mission statement, "Our mission is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs withe the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the storeis of our lives." These stories include average everyday tales from every day people.
It is amazing how these seemingly "random,""meaningless" stories of people's lives can have such a profound impact. This is exactly what we have been discussing in our Eng 295 class and have been reading in "Rainbow's End." It is the perfect balance of technology and content. I can't quite put my finger on why these videos are so powerful and that's why this blog is so great, YOU THE READER can help me. So please, please, please leave a comment and let me have your take on why these videos are so powerful.
Warning: This video will make you cry. Very powerful video, please watch.
