Andy Warhol said, "in the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes." You cant choose the 15 minutes but why would you be famous

To a degree, this has a lot of truth to it. The reason that I believe that it is of truth, is that with the technology that is around us, with people being able to have their own websites, their own blogs, and twitter accounts and of course Facebook, it is much easy to keep a track record of someone.

More importantly it is easier to know what that person is doing when they express what they are feeling. This makes me think about recently in South Africa, where Nonhle Thema who is one of South Africa's stars went on a dissing spree on twitter. She went on about how much she earns from endorsements, and how much she is worth, and so forth. This made her famous for about a week. She generally was one of the stars who never had bad publicity, but with this, it got people talking and made her more famous.

They say that there"s no such thing as bad publicity, but do we as people want to be famous for the wrong things? Whatever it may be, if we do get our 15 minutes of fame, it should be well deserved.
