Since the dawn of humanity, stories held us together. Every generation would pass their tribe’s stories on to the next, gradually building and embellishing inherited tales, and adding new stories as the generations grew. And these stories were considered sacred.
The first recorded human stories were cave paintings. Though simple, these images of roaming animals, gathered people, and stars showed us what our ancestors valued most, and each painting was signed with a handprint – the most unique identifier of that time.
Stories are powerful things. They have started wars, inspired peace, and even birthed entire religions. To this day, stories remain prevalent in society though now they are told online, in cafés, and in theaters.
With technology’s evolution, humanity’s storytelling evolved as well. We’ve gone from primitive paints on rock to cinematic masterpieces captured on film and streamed onto countless handheld devices. Now, our stories can reach further than we’d ever dreamed, faster than any of our ancestors could have thought was possible. Perhaps this love of stories was what lit the fire that began our technological revolution. No longer do humans paint rocks to tell stories. As technology has advanced, humans to have advanced and now we tell stories through text, graphics, animation, sound, music, and film.
Stories drive humanity and have ignited countless blazes, but stories wouldn’t exist without those who create them. Let the unfiltered spark of creativity inspire you at Mojo Fire.
