The Memes ye shall always have

In ancient times memes were painted on rock.

In the 1850s memes were novelty sliders in Magic Lanterns.

In the 1900s memes were naughty or “novelty” postcards.

In the 1970s xeroxed or mimeographed fake memos made the rounds among business offices.

Now memes are purely digital.

Same process, different technologies. Alter a picture, give it “humorous” captions, distribute it among friends.

Memes always evoke the same censorious response from humorless demons.

Why?

ENTERTAINMENT IS THE OPPOSITE OF SECRETS.

LAUGHTER IS THE OPPOSITE OF DEATH.
