Beau(who mentioned Threshold in a Massively.com article) and I talk once in awhile about MUDs, literacy and new, mobile tech.

Literacy is taking on a lot of new forms, and unlike the recent atmosphere in America, I feel literacy is actually up.

These new mobile devices already have developers creating and recreating those little choose your own adventure books and I saw one company marketing some kind of "living" book where it utilized multi-media(playing specific sound effects on certain pages, playing different visual graphics, etc...).

I'm also interested in this from a programming viewpoint, even though I'm not a programmer. I think much of spearheading a return to MUDs will be through interfaces.
