Texts from Bennett

Sometimes there is something so global, that overnight it can become a true sensation. The internet allows people who wanted to make it in certain industries like film, TV, and music that didn't have the means to fo it before. Youtube is the classic example. We have tubers like PhillyD, The Vlog Brothers and IJustine who have been able to sway public opinion with a two minute video and some type of humor.
We can also look to emerging musicians such as Madeon; a Swedish teenager who gained world popularity because of his mix called Pop Culture

(that's him, or at least his hands) the simple combination of his 10 favorite tracks allowed him to gain the means of doing an international tour.

In very similar ways, tumblr gives people the fame they want within seconds. Like The site Texts from Bennett. The humorous blog started only on the 12th of November, and less than a month later  it has thousands of notes and  followers.
The internet is causing a shift in how media is being consumed and giving the minute man much longer than 15 minutes. For me, this concept is scary, evoking the image of a wall-e like flawed utopia where we are too complacent in our convenience and ease. Is it me over thinking about silly blogs and youtube? Maybe. But who's to say that we won't be completely ruled by our computers and our devotion to them one day?
