"Temes" is a term coined by Susan Blackmore.

As I am making this video, Susan has recently published her latest piece on "Temes" in the New York Times, following up her previous material on the topic on TED in New Scientist and her own web site.

Her "temes" are named by analogy with memes and genes - and the term "teme" means - roughly - "technological meme".
