See on Scoop.itThe Information Specialist’s Scoop

“Sitting on a Greek island, I am reminded of how historically, stories have played a key role in transferring knowledge; the epic poems and ancient parables are evidence of this ageless capability.

Stories are still easier to remember than prose and any good speaker uses them to this advantage.”
