Shilo Shiv Suleman: Using tech to enable dreaming

Using tech to enable dreaming

Has our technology -- our cell phones and iPods and cameras -- stopped us from dreaming? Young artist Shilo Shiv Suleman says no, as she demos "Khoya," her new storybook for iPad, which floats us through a magical world in 7 minutes of pure creativity.

Magic has not vanished but evolved, as technology opens new gateways to imagination and storytelling. Once, a silver pocket watch could inspire worlds of adventure; today, interactive iPad stories let readers become characters and collect fireflies on digital quests. These experiences invite children back outside with their devices, blending real-world exploration and digital creativity. By fusing ancient myths with modern tools, technology becomes a partner in rediscovering joy and connection with nature.
