The Obsessions of The Net

What's been so interesting about the coming of the Internet and its establishment into our lives has been the depth of popular culture icons that it has created in such a short time.

For instance, here's a quick trip down memory lane, curtasy of USA TODAY, where we relive the delights of "Hampster Dance", "The Dancing Baby", and "I kiss you!"

I am sure that that "Star Wars Kid" is going to make it into the pop culture history books as well, that's if he's not already the subject of someone's undergraduate sociology thesis, somewhere!

More here, and here.
