Abstract	Storytelling is one of humanity’s oldest and most enduring forms of expression, evolving alongside cultural, social, and technological developments. This paper traces the trajectory of narrative forms from prehistoric cave paintings and oral traditions to written texts, print media, and the contemporary digital landscape. In the digital age, storytelling has transcended the limitations of static text, giving rise to interactive, multimedia, and participatory forms that engage global audiences in unprecedented ways. By analysing the technological, cultural, and social implications of digital storytelling, the study demonstrates how contemporary narratives continue the communal and adaptive principles of earlier traditions while expanding the boundaries of imagination, creativity, and audience participation.
