Storytelling
Stories can act as vessels, carriers that help transmit information to others. In other words, stories carry things, a lesson or moral, information or a take-home message. No wonder that people tell stories for the same reasons they share word of mouth. Some narratives are about social currency, some are driven by emotions or retold for their practical value.

Storytelling
When we are at these early stages in design . . . often we’ll talk about the story for the product—we’re talking about perception. We’re talking about how you feel about the product, not in a physical sense, but in a perceptual sense.

Perception
It is a known condition that when you begin to pay attention to something you have never really looked at before you will begin to see it everywhere. You eventually begin to feel as if the thing is out to find you, instead of the other way around.
