One of the fastest growing trends of the internet has to be GIFS and Memes. One minute I barely used FaceBook, then next thing I know I’m being tagged in over 40 Memes and GIFS a day because myself and all my friends have an addiction.
Producing GIFS that make people genuinely laugh is really hard, which is why I despise doing so. They all have a meaning behind them and the saddest thing is that the funniest GIFS and Memes are the ones that are our reality. This therefore proves that the medium truly is the message. There really is just no other way of putting it.
When GIFS were first introduced into our worlds, they were more for ‘tagging’ and ‘sharing’ with our friends but with the fast pace of the media and the constant demand for change by consumers, GIFS are taking over our text messages as well.
Below I have shared a literal text conversation that myself and one of my good mates, Jayden had the other day.
GIFS are literally taking over my texts. I have come to a point where I cannot even be bothered to type out a text, so I find a GIF that says the message for me. This shows how influential the media is and the (literal) messages it sends.

I have not related to something more that this! I really like how you’ve used your own examples and been able to summarise the ‘Medium is the Message’ without have to completely explain it. This is a really thought out blog that has definitely summarised most of our generation!

I love this!!!!! I use gifs all the time, it is honestly the best thing. I relate to this so much. I really like the way you wrote about this concept through your own experiences, sharing your own examples. I found it really easy to understand the meaning of this. You did a really good job – it was interesting and entertaining because I could relate to it. Having relatable content is really good.
Keep up the solid work!!! I look forward to reading more of your blogposts 🙂

I can relate soooo much because my friends and I literally communicate daily by tagging each other in memes! I like this because you wrote about a concept that is hard to grasp in a simple way relating to your own experiences

Love how you’ve used your own life experiences to explain “The medium is the message”. Super clear and thought out, I’m also loving the aesthetics of your blog it’s a pleasure to read. To make your posts even better? Hmm, maybe put some references from the readings or phrases from the lecture to enhance th theory aspect. Other than that though, you’ve got a really confident blogging voice and I can really hear it, it’s comforting xx.
