My first Meme. Why I write my blog. And what is a meme?

HI was thinking of writing about something else, but I have seen that Rogelio has passed me a meme about why i write my blog.

¿Chow? you don't know what what is a memeWhat do you want a definition of meme? Well, I'm sorry, but it's not going to be. Those who visit this blog know that I like to explain how the programs work or how to register for various services and make it a bit easier to understand the different computer terms that are used on a daily basis and that not everyone knows. For this reason, as today we have to talk memes I would like to give you a definition of what a meme is but it turns out that a meme is one of those things, like so many others, that it is easier to explain with examples than to define it.

CI think the definition of meme that occurs in the Wikipedia In this regard, it has little or nothing to do with what is understood today in the Internet when referring to a meme. Victor solano He says on his blog that the formal definition of meme is "so pretty, but you risk getting lost in pragmatism", I say more, the definition of meme that is given in wikipedia is so abstract and defines the concept in such a way , which has allowed us to call a meme what is not.

DWikipedia says that "memes tend to replicate without pursuing any purpose either" and it is clear that in the memes that spread throughout the blogosphere they do pursue a purpose, for me the main one:

TThere will also be those who start a meme to see what people think about a topic or to satisfy their curiosity about something, but in any case the fundamental thing is that a goal is consciously pursued and this is contrary to the very definition of a meme.

DAfter the above and for those who have not yet found out that in a meme, or what we call a meme, I will tell you that a meme is like the game of «you carry it», that is, someone passes you a topic to write about and you write about it and then you pass it on to another who in turn will pass it on to another until the meme loses strength and is lost into oblivion. During the process, the opinions of all those who circulated the meme will be known and, fundamentally, a large (or small if the meme does not have much acceptance) will have been woven spider web that can interconnect hundreds of blogs.

BWell, I no longer roll up to more than I rightly do not pass the daily article; ) As the title of the post says, this is my first meme and I hope it is not the last as I consider it a good way to meet new blogs and also always like to remember one. So without further delay I'm going to answer this meme, although after the time you've been reading I'll do it briefly so as not to bore you anymore.

Why I write my blog:

EI write this blog for two fundamental reasons:

1º) Every day hundreds (or thousands) of people connect to the Internet for the first time and find that they discover a new world that is very confusing. Everyone does not have a friend to be besieged with questions about what this or that is for and they have to turn to dad Google to solve your doubts.

And here comes the one that is the big problem for me, they do their search and find thousands or millions of results. After looking at a few of them, they realize that they do not understand half of the things that are talked about (I know what I say has happened to me and it continues to happen to me) since many topics are taken for granted. Me I write this blog to try to explain step by step how a program or service works, so that without leaving the blog the explanation can be understood and trying not to take any topic for granted. I know that there are other places where this is also done, but I try to do it in a more concise or deep way (no wonder I get a brick every time I post).

2º) Somewhere on the blog, I do not remember now, I commented that with this blog I kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand I get rid of colleagues who ask about this and that. Now when they ask I send them to the blog and if necessary I write an article about their question. In this way, the next one I ask, I just have to refer it to the blog.
The other thing is that it serves me as trickery, since I am storing all the tricks that I am learning and I can access them from any computer with an Internet connection.

PThat's it, so much talk for this? Well now I have to transmit the meme to other people and hope that they continue to spread it like a virus. I pass the meme to Paul and Icarus, Psycho, to which I owe a post for a while, to Miguel and Arthur. Vineyard greetings.
