The Silent History<\/h3>\n

The Silent History is not your traditional app to help with a task, but rather a storytelling and content delivery system.<\/p>\n

The app follows a story set in 2044, where doctors begin to notice children being born with a silent condition, which leaves them unable to speak or comprehend anything.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a unique and interesting way to tell a story, and a smart way to embrace the GPS, mobility and portability of mobile devices.<\/p>\n
