Question

How might current written and oral pieces that we produce every day (blogs, text messages, social network posts, videos, television shows, etc.) be considered piece of folklore?

Answer 1

Folklore can be described as the dissemination of any type of information through oral communication or through leading by example. This information will represent the collective ideas of a certain group of people and can be transmitted through mediums such as literature or knowledge. Nowadays the world has morphed into a technologically advanced sphere where all information can be acquired at the touch of a button. This however doesn't change the definition of folklore, it only changes the medium through which we share the information.
