In the age of the internet and reality television, everyone is looking for his or her fifteen minutes of fame. For those who are motivated, lucky, and connected enough to wind up on a reality television show, that fifteen minutes comes quickly, and is often drawn out for far longer than initially expected. However, for those who do not immediately possess these qualities or connections, it is usually necessary to enter the public eye through some other means, such as a cooking blog, an anime review show, or a homemade comedy series on YouTube.
Before reality television, and before everyone had access to webcams and the ability to broadcast things on the internet, cable access television was often one's first attempt at fame. Local cable networks would provide airtime at a low or nonexistent cost to the public.
On the popular satire sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, cable access was parodied through the sketch Wayne's World, which featured Wayne and Garth, two teenagers who hosted a weekly program on their local channel. The sketch was later made into a movie, which followed the pair as an executive from a national network picked up their show.
Although cable access still exists, many people these days turn to the internet, and particularly YouTube, with similar hopes to those of Wayne and Garth. Perhaps they simply want fame, or perhaps they have a message or a talent they want to share with the public. Either way, YouTube provides a platform for addressing as many people as you can get to click on your video.
In some cases, a video not only reaches a focused audience, it becomes inescapable, showing up on social networks and in email chains. This is called "going viral." Videos are sometimes created with this as a goal, such as the song/video "Friday" by Rebecca Black. Black wanted to promote her music. Other viral video clips have been the result of news broadcasts that the public decides are funny and begins circulating.
For people who have information they want to convey but do not feel comfortable in front of a camera, blogging is often an option. Bloggers have achieved sudden fame and even fortune, too, such as in the case of Nate Silver. Silver was a political blogger. When he was younger, he had developed a formula by which he predicted baseball statistics. Silver adapted this tool to be applied to election results, and shared his predictions on his blog. When they turned out to be correct, he became an overnight sensation and a millionaire.
One of the reasons the internet has become more popular than cable access is that it provides the user with a wider audience. While cable access is a local thing, the internet broadcasts things all over the world. It is generally unlikely that cable access would connect an aspiring performer or journalist with the type of audience that could catapult them to fame. However, this happens all the time on the internet.
However, the internet has provided a wide open window to the world, through which anyone can display their ideas and talents. You can say what you want through a blog on Tumblr or Wordpress, or in a comedy routine or anime review show that you share on YouTube. Perhaps your fifteen minutes of fame actually are within your reach.
