Last year, we spent the equivalent of 1 million years watching cat videos online, uploaded million different versions of Harlem Shake and took more pictures of what we ate for dinner last night than who we ate dinner with. Are we dumber than ever or is there something else going on? We say yes! This phenomenon isn’t a sign of an intellectual void in our culture. As our anthropological study of the visual web -- pictures, gifs, videos -- shows us, it’s evidence of something very deep, powerful, and dare we say, uplifting. By understanding and harnessing all this meaning we imbue in the visual web, we can create the kind of captivating content people crave, share and consume.
