This chapter draws on a community project 'Remember' which explored the potential of digital personal stories to support cross-setting and intergenerational dialogue. Over six months, children in two Year 4 classrooms interviewed local people about their WWII experiences and documented these in writing, pictures and audio, using an iPad app called ‘Our Story’ and additional web-based resources from a local archive.

This article explains Internet users’ self-help activities in protecting their privacy online using structural equation modeling.

In an experimental design, we are testing the hypothesis that intervention with narrative methods has a positive effect on existential well-being and quality of the caring relationships because of the impact it has on the quality (content and structure) of the life story.

Life story writing is an excellent way to build community with other seniors. Anne Flaxman, a certified instructor with The Center for Journal Therapy, teaches memoir writing for seniors in Fairfield County, Connecticut, as well as traveling around the country seeding new life story writing groups.

A lot of people in the tech industry talk about “changing the world” and “making people’s lives better.” But bad design is excluding whole sections of the population from the benefits of technology. If you’re a designer, you can help change that. By following some simple principles, you can create more inclusive products that work better for everyone, especially the people who need them the most.
