For the workshop think about how these concepts and ideas reflect, contradict, or interact with the week’s readings and your own experiences with virality.

1. Select examples (1 each) from the workshop and/or video, Meikle and Young C3, Johnson, and How Luther Went Viral.  Place each example in context so we can understand it.
2. Write a sentence or two on how these examples relate to each other (clearly label). Beyond the fact they are all examples of viral information flows.
