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.

This is canonically accurate as in the beginning, it was basically universities that had the connections from "the Internet". Of course, the defense dept had it first and then probably couldn't figure out and gave it to smarter people. The rest is history.
Berners Lee invented the www and gave it away
Anyone else played around with reticulum?
Because it feels a lot like library-era internet.
