Reflection # 6
I had never considered annotations in any context outside of group projects for school or work. However, I am someone who has always been interested in meme-ology which very much seems to coincide with how Dr. Remi Kalir speaks about annotation.
Memes dating all the way back to Philosoraptor have been community generated media connecting internet denizens by a commonly understood shorthand.
Nowadays, this kind of annotation is scene over videos on platforms like TikTok and Reels.
As in all things, Science Fiction did it first though. Star Trek: The Next Generation predicted this move to memed speech with it’s episode “Darmok”.
