  1. When I think about the earlier celebrity, I often think about writer, singer, actor or actress and country president. But it is different now. High technology makes communicate easier ,so it is more easier to make people who have a special skill to become famous. Specially put on a social website YouTube. Randy Lin

  4. This article reminded me the quote of Andy Warhol : "Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." In the past the only way to be known is being on TV shows or radio talk shows or being a writer. But YouTube gives everyone a chance to share their videos. The video can be just a few minutes long but if the video get popular, the video maker become famous.
