Summary: Part of the Object Lessons series, which explores “the hidden life of ordinary things.” In this book, the object is the hashtag (#) — seemingly trivial but with deep historical, technological, and cultural significance. Losh argues that the hashtag is more than a decorative social media tool: it is a hybrid invention, combining a typographical symbol (the octothorpe) with words or phrases, giving it communicative power. The hashtag functions as a real “object”: a technological, linguistic, and cultural artifact shaping how we communicate, form identities, and organize communities both online and offline.

Part of the Object Lessons series, which explores “the hidden life of ordinary things.”

In this book, the object is the hashtag (#) — seemingly trivial but with deep historical, technological, and cultural significance.

Losh argues that the hashtag is more than a decorative social media tool: it is a hybrid invention, combining a typographical symbol (the octothorpe) with words or phrases, giving it communicative power.

The hashtag functions as a real “object”: a technological, linguistic, and cultural artifact shaping how we communicate, form identities, and organize communities both online and offline.
