Back then, the only really famous people were pop stars and actors, political figures and war heroes – although things were changing. In just 30 years, his statement seems to have come true.

However, Boyle’s success was largely due to a video posted on YouTube. According to the BBC, the video had been viewed “a whopping 庞大的 120 million times worldwide” by the end of 2009. Indeed, today many people showcase their own videos on YouTube and other sites. “This model makes it easy for an average Joe 路人 to get noticed,” writes Jonita Davis for the Associated Content.

If others show true talent or staying power, they may be awarded extra time to prove themselves worthy of media and public attention.
