Andy Warhol said, “In the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen
minutes.” You can’t choose the 15 minutes but why would you be world famous?

Everyone might be famous but not in the classic sense of the word. Generally, to be famous you have to be known by thousands of people, your story and your image has to be out “there”, people want to talk to you and sometimes they would want to be like you. Up until the 90’s this was the case for movie and music stars.

Today, with the internet, applications such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs make it possible for people have up to thousands of followers, “followers” want to talk to them from all over the world and in a sense they can or do become a brand.

This is not so different from the 90’s accept that more people are "famous" and standing out is a lot harder. People have more icons to follow.

So, if being seen by thousands and being in demand feeds your alter ego, then here’s to your 15 seconds of fame. I hope you recognise it when it comes around.
