When you’re online, you meet all kinds of people. You play games with them, you LOL at their jokes, or care-emoji-hug them when they’re feeling especially sad-emoji. But within the broader context of the human past, these are brand-spanking-new ways of interacting with other members of your species.

In the process, we learn how our current ways of interacting with one another are simultaneously connected and disconnected from those who preceded us.
