After reading this article i strongly agreed with the fact of how the mentioned the development of movies and tv shows and videos and how they have came a long way. He states " An emerging set of cheap tools is now making it easy to create digital video. There were more than 10 billion views of video on YouTube in September. The most popular videos were watched as many times as any blockbuster movie and that many of them are mashups of existing video material. " For example, my favorite rapper/singer "Mike Stud" has came a long way in his life when it comes to his music career and how he boosted his popularity. At first he was a an all american pitcher at Duke university, messing around with garage band in his dorm room making music as a joke with his teammates. However once he had made a music video called "college humor" in 2012, he blew up around campus leading his name to get out to the world other than being an all american baseball players his freshman year. Once he had a critical injury that changed his life and baseball career, he decided to take music to a whole different level. With releasing his music all over youtube, creating mini tv episodes of going on tour called "tourings boring" he began to explode. Now stud has his own TV show on esquire network, is popular all around the world, has connections with over hundreds of college and professional athletes, and is a successful music artist. His college humor first hit has over 2 million views. You truly never know whats going to happen in life, but technology and music can lead you to a whole new journey.
