Internet Warefare.

Memes were once seen as funny cat pictures, now meme culture and internet culture has changed, and created platforms for individuals to have serious impact in the world, such as the Hillary Clinton #draftourdaughters campaign run by Donald Trump supporters to sway the opinion of voters.

This begs the question of ‘who can we really trust’, is it someone running to be the president, or is it the internet users who expose them? The answer is, well neither really, both parties lie and manipulate to try and gain an edge, and thus make a large mess of what’s true and what’s false.

It also makes you wonder just how far this could go, and how much the internet and people with no direct coloration to an event can have an impact on how it is seen by others. I think in future political parties and people of high influence will need to create some kind of stamp to show it is what they are truly saying or has come from them, almost like a watermark, but for life.

Memes and internet culture can be creative and funny, we just need to be sure not to give it too much power.
