Im Sick

Ive been sick all weekend! which sucks. But i did manage to see this youtube video that went viral back in 2006 that I had never seen before. the idea of a youtube video going viral is much like the cold virus (hense the name viral) one see its and passes it on to the next. The idea of 'viral' we like to think as a new invention because of the internet but this has sort of been around since the beggining of story telling. I mean stories like the odysesy passed on by word of mouth. Really going viral whether it be a cold or a story has little to do with media and everything to do with simple communication and contact with others.
