They originate in the quiet of the archive and the breathless suspense of the control room, and find voice in the roar of rallies in the streets. The #hashtag is a composite creation, with two separate but related design histories- one involving the crosshatch symbol and one about the choice of letters after it.\u003cbr\u003eCelebration and criticism of hashtag activism rarely address the hashtag as an object or try to locate its place in the history of writing for machines. Although hashtags tend to be associated with Silicon Valley invention myths or celebrity power users, the story of the hashtag is much longer and more surprising, speaking to how we think about naming, identity, and being human in a non-human world.\u003cbr\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46619427569822,"sku":"UBD-9781501344275","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781501344275.jpg?v=1773899391","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781501344275","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
