Due to television and the internet it is easier today for a large number of people to become famous. Is this a positive or negative development?
In the modern world, it is possible for a person to gain popularity overnight, due to availability of television and an online media.
This
situation has some benefits, but it also
has some strong negative effects, which I believe are more serious than the positive ones.
On the one side, there are some benefits of getting famous on television and the internet. Firstly

, sarcastic people sometimes hurt the TV
stars on their wrong actions, which further
leads to violence in the society, followed by mini wars.

the internet and television can bring a fortune for people by offering them a huge wealth and the followers. However
, I believe the negative effects such
as privacy loss and violence in the society are far more important to consider.Submitted by globalcedarfence on
