It has become a widespread trend that people take advantage of TV shows or the internet to become popular, which I believe that its drawbacks overweigh the upsides.
In some cases, the people who have a remarkable achievement can be known in this way. In other words, people figure out what potential people there are and therefore they encourage them to continue their working to make progress and enhancing their talents. In addition, this popularity can bring about some crucial support for these talented people, specially fanancial support, to do their best. In fact, they can enjoy the fruits of their hard work.
However, these ways have become a way of taking advantage by some individuals who have not any exceptional ability to present themselves and turn into a celebrity as well as making large sums of money. As a result of their dominance in the media, the true talented may be disappointed and discouraged to follow their interests, which cause a decrease in the number of improvements and advancements in many areas like science in the future, which are provided by talented people.
In conclusion, although gaining popularity through the internet and other kind of media can introduce the people with extraordinary talents and in this way persuade them to follow their works, the prevalence of the spurious talented leads the true ones to being discouraged and as a result, the future develpments which originate from thir efforts will decline.
