"in the future everybody will be world famous for fifteen minutes"

That will be great imagine being famous for fifteen minutes, i will love that. It means the technology will be changing for the best. But i do agree with the author but not agree, imagine everybody being famous, it will not interesting.famous for fifteen minutes

As i read Warhol article about this statement: "It is far and away the best-known of the many quotations attributed to Warhol, in fact it is probably the only comment of his that most people know.
The line began to bore Warhol in later years when interviewers kept asking him about it. In 1979 he did repeat it though, claiming that the line had truth - "my prediction from the sixties finally came true: In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes.".
As things have turned out the rise of celebrity culture and reality television in the Western world since then has shown Warhol to be quite prophetic."
