Abstract
Technology plays a big role in our lives. However, many do not have access to
technology and the knowledge it provides, giving rise to the so-called digital divide.
The purpose of this study is to explore and understand the impact of digital
storytelling for social innovation, considering the digital landscape of South Africa.
For example, it is important to consider what types of technologies have worked
and are still working to capture stories. Furthermore, to consider what skills the
end-users would require to use the system and what devices would be best suited
for them—PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone—and what software would be
required to capture their stories. Finally, access to Wi-Fi or the Internet would need
to be economically viable. Despite the vast research that has been done on digital
storytelling, not much has been done in terms of its impact on social innovation
and how a digital platform should be designed to enrich social innovation and
creativity.
