He is right about the status of the storytellers in our society. People don't gather around telling others stories anymore. Although it is sometimes done at like camp, where everyone gathers at the campfire to tell stories, it isn't done as a natural thing anymore.
With the new age of technology, there is no need for storytellers anymore. They are now being replaced by books. Books are more efficient at storytelling because you don't have to find a person who knows the story to tell you about it. People can now experience the joys of the stories through books in the comfort of their own homes.
My parents and grandparents are storytellers. I remember during my childhood, they would tell me stories about their past. Its not just their past but also about other fantasy like stories. Its more effective to tell stories because people can express the feelings that go along with the story. Also, they could improvise as they tell the stories making them more interesting.

I agree with you. Storytelling is disappearing and yes the only time that a story is being told is during camp and when the elders tell them to us. By the way nice blog. =)
