famous

andy warhol stated that we can get 13 minutes minutes of fame, the expression today has changed today and it is now 15 minutes of fame. this expression and other like give an expression to describe normal people who get fame for a short amount of time. some examples of people who have achieved this type of fame include reality t.v. show stars. they really have done nothing to catch our attention, but when they are able to get an a t.v. show they live up their minutes of glory until the show is over. i think the expression has changed to 15 minutes versus 13 minutes because there are more ways of getting information out to the public than there were in andy warhol’s time. for example, the internet and a t.v. shows with much more variety to them. the public can get more information through these as well as an unique opportunity to join in. no, i have not been famous; maybe one day, but not yet.
