Summary/Abstract: Science and technology on earth are renewing with greater speed. Innovation also provides change. These changes affect human life either positively or negatively. Changes in technological life also force cultural changes. New cultural habits are emerging due to renovations. The internet has become one of the most important tools for cultural changes especially in the last two decades. Cultural changes that occur more slowly in oral and written cultural environments have gained a great momentum in the electronic cultural environment. Change has created new traditions. These traditions reach a much wider audience/ listener. Folklor is also affected by these changes. Folklor expanded the research area and found a new and rich research area. Anecdote is one of the most important folkor genres. In all periods, the anecdote makes people laugh, think. The anecdote continued to exist in society for a long time, both orally and in writing.
