> Personally, I'm hoping all this share-everything is just a trend, that will pass by itself. Future users will look back at it with a sense of wonder: did people really post pictures of their food online? "Yep, and then we had buttons to tell each other that we liked seeing it. It was a weird time. Some people still miss it and argue we should go back to Web 2.0."

I expect future generations may well say the same thing about memes. "People thought that was cool???"

Memes are a new type of language, a development supported by technology that is in some ways comparable to the rise of remixing music.

I don't think they will be ridiculed to the same level as I hope our current social media behavior will be. They will more likely evolve to new levels, when the methods of remixing media expand and they become even easier to create.
