In the course of human history, many statements have appeared that scientists have never proved, but they remain convincing. On the other hand, some allegations have an evidence base, but people do not believe them since the source is not sufficiently reliable. Nevertheless, these statements exist in modern society, and they are transmitted from one person to another, from generation to generation. Nowadays, the development of the Internet and technology mainly contributes to the spread. Scientists established a definition for the presented phenomenon at the end of the twentieth century, and they claimed such information a meme. As Blackmore marks in her article, “memes are units of cultural transmission” (170). Most likely, every person in their life comes across memes more than once, and people accept some of them and do not believe in others. I also happened to encounter memes in life, but the most memorable incident happened to me in my childhood. After the third grade, I went to my grandparents on vacation in the village, and I planned to have fun with my friends and spend time in the fresh air in the countryside. Unfortunately, my plans were destroyed because none of my friends came to the village that year, so I was left entirely alone. At first, I continued to walk alone because I did not like spending time locked up in the house. However, later I could not do this either, as the weather turned bad and it rained for a month. It was at this time that I realized that I enjoyed computer games, so I spent hours at the computer. My grandmother always scolded me for spending time behind the screen and for the fact that I continuously sat and did not move. That was the first time when she said that all the diseases came from the computer. A few days later, my head started to hurt, and I caught a cold, so my grandmother repeated her meme one more time. For a while, I believed that I got sick due to the computer, and I was afraid of even getting closer to the machine. Surprisingly, a little later, my grandmother and several people from the village got sick as well, so it turned out that it was an ordinary flu. Since then, I have become aware of this type of information and, if possible, I seek confirmation of controversial assumptions. It is interesting to note that the situation only convinced my grandmother that she was right because she believed that if I had not spent so much time on the computer; my immunity would have been able to cope with the virus. Not only my grandmother and it knew the presented meme turns out that many older adults disseminate this information, even if they do not have evidence. I believe that older people are spreading this meme because they are overprotective about their children and grandchildren and consider computers dangerous because they do not understand them. However, not only older people find this statement convincing, as there is plenty of evidence about the prevalence of this information on the Internet. For example, information about the physical and psychological adverse effects of computers is available on the official websites of schools. The site provides students with information about the harm to eyesight and other physiological systems, as well as information about emitted
