He meant just that. He more than likely was anticipating the effects of mass-media. And it seems that he was correct. The internet alone can bring someone from obscurity to national attention in a very short period of time and they then fade back out of sight. A prime example is, "Joe the Plummer" Then there is television and radio,and the movies. Our society/culture is now filled with some people that virtually do nothing but yet they are known.personalities. I could make a list,but I really don't want to add anymore time to their 15 minutes.. Especially since most have exceeded that amount of time already.

That at somepoint in time, everyone will have a time where they are the center of attention.
