Many people tend to separate oral culture from literature culture, however, we see that

they mutually interact and affect each other “and relations between them are problematic rather

than self-evident” as the article quotes. The definition of the legend according to the oxford

dictionary is a popular historical but not authenticated traditional story. Unlike historical

folklore, urban legend “are usually false”, Fernback continues, “in the sense that the same events

depicted in the tale do not occur with such persistence.” Wide spreading this cultural

phenomenon is understood to be the need for continuity of tradition in a turmoil of change

mainly due to technology. This function is believed to be unavoidable because of the

"unconscious" nature of it serves as an entertaining element balancing "the oral storytelling and

the legends themselves against the seriousness of the computer communications revolutions.”
