The Matrix creates loyal fans by offering them outlets across multiple levels of media to figure out the narrative; they can buy into it as much or as little as they want to depending on if they want to just watch the first movie, or watch all of the movies, buy all of the games, and participate in all of the web communities associated with The Matrix. Grammatron creates loyal followers through curiosity of the narrative as well by providing endless ways of composing the story. Both of these examples show how people can have such a connection with one fantasy, that they want to stay in that fictional world for as long as possible.<br /><br />Also, I think it's incredibly interesting that Grammatron (the lower bandwidth version) basically let's you choose what kind of story you read by the words you choose to click. It seems to give greater power to the reader than a concrete narrative, but also calls attention to your own tastes and interests.JennieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578389949947952358noreply@blogger.com
