Are Memes and Internet Culture Creating a Singularity?

Here's an idea: a PBS show that examines the connections between pop culture, technology, and art.

Are Memes and Internet Culture Creating a Singularity?

Season 2012 Episode 5 | 4m 36s

But to an internet layman, they seem to just appear, in HUGE quantities, ready for cultural consumption. Are they a sign of a "cultural singularity"? It may seem like science fiction, but we're close to a world where culture automatically and magically creates infinitely more culture.
