Kaleio No. 14: What are hearts and likes?

To that, you might reply: “Those are the little images I use online to show that I like something. They let me leave kind comments on posts, videos, or photos.” Click, a heart. Click, a “like.” But what would someone who isn’t familiar with the online world say? They’d say: “Hearts pump blood through our bodies and beat faster when we’re in love.” And “likes” might be rare animals, a bit like lynxes. By the way, doesn’t that word come from the English verb “like,” which means “to love”? Exactly! That’s what it’s all about: loving. Loving and pleasing. Expressing affection. And this issue of Kaleio invites you to do just that in the real world! We love it!
