In the process, memes get shared, blended, altered and parodied in various ways. They'll become more and more representative of the condition or situation around them. 

As time goes on, memes begin to hold more authority on the ideas they carry. 

Internet memes are the source and form of raising awareness in a particular subject. Memes often convey the message with funny, humour and satirical way. In recent history we have evidence that memes are used to generate change in society and politics.
