For my last free post, I decided to write about a video on Facebook. It ties in really well on how we learn over the internet, even know when you watch the video it doesn't seem that way. I think everyone, who uses Facebook, can really relate to this video.
How does it relate?
When you go on Facebook, you'll most likely use one of the abbreviations that Ross had on the poster. One of your friends will say something funny and you'll reply with a "lol" and then they will reply with a "lol" and so on. It gets hard wired in your brain to reply with "lol" if something is funny or not. I think its really interesting how much of a virus it is. Same goes with internet memes. If you're not sure what an internet meme is, have a look at this adorable baby.
These are memes:
I've noticed that once one is introduced you start hearing it everywhere, and not just on the internet. Just the other day I was making fun of my boyfriend for referencing an old meme and replied with another meme. If the internet isn't affecting us in some way, then I don't know what is.
