Compendium 
Documenting 21st century culture
The turn of the century came with a globalization of communication through the spread of the Internet, exposing many people to overwhelming amount of contents - some funny, some good, some sad, some bad.
In this new hyperconnected society, it has become hard to keep up to date with everything. This compendium aims to be a documentation for elements of 21st century culture, making them as accessible as possible to those who are "out of the loop" on specific topics.
You might be wondering what a compendium is, whether there is a deliberate political bias, who writes the content, which guidelines it follows, all those questions and more are answered in our mission statement.
All of the compendium's contents can be found on the list of all pages. Though maybe you would rather get started in your browsing by reading a randomly chosen page.
