A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

That does sound cool, it must have been pretty labor intensive. How long do you remember these things being used before they were phased out?
By the time I was doing the work the tech was already starting to get old. That particular job was kind of amazing. It was a giant distribution center with something like 3 miles of conveyor belts and the distributed Linux operating system worth one OS ran across 20 nodes.
We hired a contractor to come in and put fiber. But it was back when fiber was very unforgiving the project took forever to get turned up. They broke about as much as they ran. To be honest I'm not really sure why they bothered with the fiber, All the long distance runs in the warehouse we're already overkill at 10 megabit.
For the most part they were just talking to an HP 3000 at serial speeds. All the office PCs and printers that needed better than 100 meg work condensed up in the front and could easily run on Ethernet.
