MEMES, THE NEXT BIG THING.

The one internet trend that attracted my attention is the rise of the internet
memes. Memes can take many forms,from popular meme character such as Bad Luck
Brian, Socially awkward penguin or Troll face, to just a regular photograph with
a catchy meaningful caption. While the idea of meme has long existed, the
internet has dramatically increased it’s popularity especially among youth.
Indeed Internet memes provide a whole new medium for people to visualize their
ideas.It is a new avenue that never stops growing. As our world is constantly
filled many significant events,new memes are introduced in the internet
everyday.

But what I find the most intriguing is that internet memes can have multiple
genres. While the most common genre of a meme is just a simple joke for
entertainment purpose, many other memes carry a certain message, often
political. Attached below are links to 2 internet memes. One is a joke made
during the recent Superbowl halftime show, the other expresses the issue about
cyber surveillance and data collection performed by the NSA.





Like anything else, internet memes are not all perfect. Meme artist might
sometimes accidentally or deliberately offend certain people. They can be
spreading false information. What is even more concerning is that some people
might exploit the popularity of internet memes for their own advantage. So is
the age of the internet meme good or bad? Should we be concerned about it? You
be the judge of that.
