As for the effect of a surfeit of memes on the young, this can be ameliorated by actually having meaningful conversations with the children on a daily basis. That isn't so easy for some two-earner overbooked parents (which is a hell of a lot of them), but when you're talking about the Invasion of the Memes into Young Minds, you're not just talking about an increased flow of memes from media manipulators, but also a time in which parental guidance and feedback -- meme weeding, in other words -- is weaker and less effective than it has ever been.
