From Wired Opinion
“Memes are the instruments with which we play music. The way things are going, we’re going to lose our song.”
In case you are wondering exactly what a “meme” is, Wikipedia offers this
A meme (
/ˈmiːm/; MEEM)) is “an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.” A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols or practices, which can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate and respond to selective pressures. (footnotes omitted)
