I found this article shared on Facebook and it was very interesting. I thought I'd share it and get your take. Lots of thoughts go through my head about the future of digital history, and what that will mean for memes like the "Ermahgerd" girl. The repository for memes, KnowYourMeme, and other sites like it (perhaps even giphy), will be a great source of information to those studying current Internet culture. Trends are so fleeting, however, that this may be a blip on the radar to future historians.
