Annotating the World

Annotating the world is as natural as a child pointing at and then naming her dog.  Just as spoken words are ‘markers’ so too have our digitally shared markings.  We have continued to elaborate from the spoken to the digital, from oral to digital text.  The cartoon bubble, the closed caption, and the chairon have become as natural to our way of annotating the world as has our childlike naming of things.
