Some of you may be asking yourselves, WAT is a meme or gif? Well they are both very similar, in that they are a short burst of information through an image that is able to convey an idea ,or emotion, more effectively than words ever could! The three images above all utilize the same meme, and that is the WAT meme. (seen below)
When you see this image what comes to mind? A groggy old grumpy smokers voice saying, "what", inquisitively with an annoyed tone. Without a meme if I wanted you to imagine that sound, I would have to type out that sentence, and there would still be no guarantee that they would understand what I wanted them to! This is one of the millions of memes and GIFs that each convey a different message that can be used to tell stories and bring people to a common understanding!
