What's a meme?

Most people have never heard of memes. A meme is any piece of information that can move from person to person. This includes many things like:

• Thoughts and ideas
• Beliefs
• Actions
• Feelings
• Stories
• Many other things

There are two major things that make information not a meme. One is if the information cannot move from person to person. The other is if it cannot be stored in a person's mind. Examples clarify these. What it is like to be me is information that cannot move to another person. A painting cannot be stored in a mind. Therefore, neither of these things are memes. However, description of what it is like to be me or of a painting are memes.
