The end of fame (as we know it)

Download to read offline

My talk at TechWeek L.A. 11/15/12 - Why do we remember famous people in history? How? How about today's celebrities? And how are the Internet and the Social Web changing that now?

A look at the fame creation process tells us it is indissociable from the media creation process, which has been deeply impacted by new information technology. The Andy Warhol prediction is probably no longer valid and we need to rethink fame in the context of a distributed Internet network which more and more becomes topic-centric and no longer people-centric.
