Knownasthe“octothorpe”bytypographyexperts,
I took graphic design processes spring semester 2020, and I remember talking about octothorpes and what they where.
“3%”ofuserswantedtoseerepliesfromuserstheyfol-lowedtouserstheydidn’t,
I agree with this. I personal want to see what people I follow think of something when I see that they respond to something, but in order for me to see what the said I have to scroll through a text thread.
Dodgeball
What even was dodgeball? This is the first time ive ever herd about it.
“Whatareyoudoing?”
when ever this came up, I remember people responded to it like," I am doing yoga" or some other action that they are doing.
Grindr. Released in 2009
I had no idea that grindr was released in 2009, then again I was 8 years old in 2009. I had no idea what grinder was until like 2017.
“Hey. I thought maybe we could sign up for Grindr together.”
it seems that some people in the LGBTQ community could find this as an insult if it wasn't said by a parent.
Compelling narratives potentially attractaudiences for a multitude of reasons–they could be inspirational, relatable, instructive,cautionary and so on
I feel like this really applies well to people who use there social media platform to bring awareness to issues like eating disorder, drug abuse, etc.
Online media is, moreover, an exceedingly consumer-centric space, because indivi-duals actively and autonomously seek out the resources they are most interested in
I agree with this, when I start scrolling through instagram I automatically go to what I want to see and I skip over the ones I don't.
I often use simple videos in the classrooms for movement breaks and use peanut butter jelly time often. For the simplicity of videos being memes I think of the video dumb ways to die.
humor is a big reason for why I use and send memes. I look at it as a way to be funny and make someone laugh
A single video is not an Internet meme but part of a meme
I found this interesting, for the longest time I would associate full videos as a meme, I never though that the video is just a part of the meme.
Since I use stance in this context as a very broad cat-egory, I wish to clarify it by breaking it into three subdi-mensions, drawing on concepts from discourse and media studies:
I found it very beneficial looking at the 3 subdivision-mensions, it made it more specific to understand.
The way that Dawkins describes memes is very interesting to me. It makes sense the way he described it, and I never have though that the spread of memes is like the transmission of genes.

so basically the fans made a fan account for mad men.

this reminds me of jib jabs elf yourself that people so around the holidays that incorporates their pictures and makes them look like elf and dance around.
Stickysitesoftenincorporategames,quizzes,andpollstoattractandholdtheinterestsofindividuals.
when I think of a sticky site I think of buzz feed and how they have all those quizzes.
However,whilenewtoolshaveproliferatedthemeansbywhichpeoplecancirculatematerial,word-of-mouthrecommendationsandthesharingofmediacontentareimpulsesthathavelongdrivenhowpeopleinteractwitheachother
a big way o how my friends and I communicate is with sharing videos to each other. it helps keep us connected and communicating even if we don't see each other every day.

so I may be way off but im taking this as like a way to change a file type, such as changing a document into a PDF.
InHollywoodfilms,flocksofbirds,antcolonies,andcrowdsofpeopleareautomaticallycreatedbyAL(artificiallife)software
this makes a lot of sense. when I think of AI I think of hunger games and all of those graphics. Its interesting to think that ai can be as intense as making a elephant to making a crowd of birds.
Anewmediaobjectcanbedescribedformally(mathematically).Forinstance,animageorashapecanbedescribedusingamathematicalfunction
I don't really understand computers but I found this to be super interesting. I find it cool to think that a image or shape can be described with a math function.
As the popularity of photographic GIFs
I couldn't highlight above with the glitter GIFS but in my graphic design class last year, we talked about about Text and kerning. glitter letters that move are super hard to understand, yes they are fun but they are just not practical.
More narrativeformations emerged from flip books
I totally forgot about flip books. I loved making those in elementary school.
Optical toys were educational,
My mom sometimes makes education GIFs for her students in first grade to keep them engaged in the lesson.
Graphics Interchange Format
I always though that GIF stood for Graphics interchange file, I've been saying it wrong for years.
