    The idea of the meme was first introduced by Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene. In essence, the meme is a replicator of information, as crucial to our being human as is our DNA. More particularly, as Elizabeth Falck states in her work ‘Technology and the Memetic Self’, memes are “ideas that can be expressed and replicated. Memes are instruction, behaviors, inventions, cultural traditions and stories.” Please see (n 4).
