In this essay, I intend to use Jean Rouch’s valorization of the ethnographic past in order to think about the ethnographic future. In the pages that follow, I explore how new digital technologies have altered the landscape of anthropological expression and attempt to briefly describe the epistemological impact of social media and visual technologies on ethnographic description. I conclude by suggesting that the complexity of a digital application or a technological treatment is of limited value if there is no story to be told. It is the quality of the story, as Jean Rouch might have argued, that determines whether an ethnographic work will remain open to the world
