Modern Day Camp Fire

Thinking back to the beginning of the class, I distinctly remember when we were discussing how sitting around a fire in prehistoric times telling a story was one of the first forms of interactive storytelling. This practice has been a continuing tradition among us, however it has evolved as we have and has adapted to our new social standards. I was thinking of what could be considered a "Modern" Camp Fire scenario where people are just simply interacting with each other and sharing ideas and stories, as well as letting other people interact with what is going on. The closest thing I could think of that matched the description was a party. At a party, similar to a camp fire, there are groups of people clustered around the area, each telling a different story. These different stories combine to create the atmosphere and actual "story" of the party, the interactions between people are what many people seek when they go to a party, which is not much different than our ancestors circling around a fire.
