With the development of modern technologies, more people can become popular. I believe that it is a positive development since this turns entertainment into a means of earning money and can reveal people’s talents in various fields that are not popular in their country.
The first reason why I think so is that talented people in poor countries cannot demonstrate their skills and become famous because the country’s economy is bad and slowly developing, so other fields, except for agriculture, are not in demand, and there are not any events to reveal and show everybody their talents. In such cases, online platforms are very helpful and make a popular person with good skills in art, music and also technical fields such as math, physics, IT, if this person comes up with something new. These people can post videos on YouTube or other platforms, and thus, people from all over the world will watch their posts.
Another reason why I believe that it is a positive trend is that creative people, masters of their craft, and other professionals can monetize their skills easily without making great efforts or passing different castings. However, in the past people who had outstanding acting skills should stay in the background or go through difficult tests to play an insignificant role, and only a few people could achieve a big promotion, and this was like this due to the small number of projects related to their areas of activity. On the contrary, nowadays, many programs are broadcasting, and therefore, the demand for new actors, announcers is also increasing. The heads of television channels look for them by using the Internet, and some people who are suitable for directors may appear in their social media recommendations.
In conclusion, the facilitation of becoming popular by using TV and different online platforms is a great development since people can monetize their high levels of knowledge or good skills and become very popular.
