With the help of internet and television many people are becoming famous. Is this a positive or a negative trend? Include examples.

A lot of
people
have attained celebrity status by receiving the help of the
internet
and television and in my opinion,
this
is a negative trend.
This
essay will explain
further
with reasons and examples on the same.
Firstly
, social networks like Facebook and Instagram have enabled every user to have unlimited followers and due to
this
, most of their users tend to go into a competitive mindset of attracting the maximum number of followers. While
this
mindset has made them famous, it has
also
wreaked havoc on their mental and physical health.
For example
, in recent times, many famous Instagram models have expired due to low sugar.The reason for these unnecessary deaths is their mindset to keep their bodies in ZERO size figure to attract followers on social networks.
Hence
, the
Internet
, while helping
people
to become famous, is
also
making them vulnerable while they are trying to keep up their celeb status for a long duration.
Secondly
, when a few famous youngsters tell about themselves on television,
then
other youngsters who are not famous try to become one by sharing all of their information over the
internet
.
For instance
, a teenage girl was attacked at her house after she posted on FACEBOOK that she was alone in her house. Teenagers unknowingly share their privately identifiable information over the
internet
to
people
with malicious intent and thereby become victims of crime. So
this
facility of televisions making celebrities out of normal
people
has made them vulnerable to crime. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that the
Internet
and Televisions have helped some to become famous but it is a negative trend as the number of
people
who have become victims of fraud and death while trying to become famous is very high compared to the number of
people
who have succeeded in becoming famous.
