Memes

          Having spent a lot of time on the internet the last few years, I have seen a countless number of memes. When we got this assignment, however, I realized I didn't exactly have a definition for what a meme is. So I researched it, and found that a meme is something that carries cultural ideas between people, societies, and even generations. People make them to display an idea or a theme, and then more people edit them and share them. It is basically an easy way to get the word out about something that inspires you. 
          My favorite meme is definitely "condescending wonka". It is basically a picture of Willy Wonka with an almost bored looking smile, and I love the captions because they are usually things I would say. I'm a very sarcastic person, and I love how condescending wonka isn't afraid to call people out when they say ridiculous things. 

My favorite pre-internet meme is the calculator that is flipped upside down to spell words. I did this all the time when I was younger, and sometimes I still do because it's stupid yet entertaining. My ID number in high school was 1134, which typed into an upside down calculator spells "hell", and I used to think this meant I am damned to hell. I just think it's hilarious how people can find the simplest things so entertaining.
