When we are young, we dream of being famous. Our parents tell us to hold our dreams close and that anything is possible. Well, it seems to me, that our parents were right. Anything is possible.
Anything.
And who do we have to thank for that? The internet.
That's right. With the continuous rise of the technological age, more and more "every day" people are learning how to make something of themselves. By simply posting a photo, a comment or a silly video, individuals have the power to catch attention and attract a following. All they need is one person to pick it up and share it, then the whole thing goes viral.
Mr. Michael Buckley is one of those "every day" people.
Buckley began a series of satirical video postings that turned him into a YouTube sensation. "What The Buck?" was a series of segments in which Buckley went on humorous rants. His segments gained attention and soon, he was getting enough followers and making enough money to quit his day job.
QUIT HIS DAY JOB.
Enough money to put his previous life on hold and support himself by posting silly videos on YouTube. Madness, if you ask me.
Buckley is just one among the many who are discovering the internet is a powerful, powerful tool. A tool that not only spreads, creates and shares information in an instant, but also one that turns ordinary folk into celebrities.
