For Vilém Flusser, philosopher of technology, the advent of photography heralded the return of the image from its subjection to the linearity of written language. Here we extend his concept of the techno-image (successor of the pre-historical hand-drawn image and the historical printed word), to consider the digital image-text that today dominates reading and writing. Our question: Can we reader-writers think the digitas, or are we doomed to perform its functions in an automati[c] or robotiz[ed] fashion, as Flusser put it, so that, if anything, the digitas now thinks us? The short answer to our question is as follows: we can think the digitas, but only if we consider it, firstly, as a kind of writing (digital orthography) and, secondly, as a caricature of thinking, both impoverished and, dare we say it, funny (digital caricature).
