Scientists are now beginning to understand how these addictive meme are made, and why they dont last long or in other words “die”; or seeing if it's possible to predict which will go viral. The internet had not been around the time when Richard Dawkins the British evolutionary biologist came up with the term meme in 1976. Memetics uses Dawkins theory of evolution and suggests that memes evolve just as genes do. The gene that went through the many imitation had to be the best to evolved for communication. A meme is not controlled by one creator but many people. It can be hard to explain what can fall under the term meme.

Memes in today 's society are used to mock things and often are satire. For my project I choose the memes of Willy Wonka and ‘I don’t always... but when I do I’. These are used to mock morality and the triviality of the upper class and privileged respectively. These are both issues that we face in society.

She also speaks about how impactful memes are in understanding the world of digital media that's used so widely around the world. She discusses the multiple genres of memes such as the All your base are belong to us, Little Fatty, Advice Animals, and The Rage Comics. She further explained the crucial role photoshopping people to different images is. She gives an example of a mad that photoshopped himself as if he took a picture right before the collapse of the World Trades Center on September 11, 2001 (pg.13).
In my opinion, his entire career represents an opportunity missed. Richard Dawkins is perfect science communicator in an era when one is sorely needed. Biological evolution is one of the most misunderstood ideas in our world. I think that opponents fail to understand it, but even those who are glad to say they believe it still do not really understand aspects of how it works. Moreover, it is seen as flawed by people when the flaws they have pounced on are errors in their own brain and not in the science they're criticizing.

Internet meme spreads in the form of an image or a video. It can be a word or a phrase. Memes have the power to shape the culture, change our living styles, and continually evolve with changing society. The widespread adoption of social media as a common component of everyday life has completely altered the ways we communicate and allowed memes to spread and become part of the popular cultural framework for many different populations (Shifman, 2013).
