The Internet is probably the greatest magician of all times because it has the capacity to create something from nothing. While illusionists apparently produce ping pong balls out of their mouths or rabbits out of top hats, using real 'things', often the Internet builds fame and wealth out of absolutely 'nothing'. An admirable skill indeed! In the past, clever people such as scientific geniuses, great painters, writers or composers would live most or all their lives basically unknown. Nowadays the contrary happens: people with no talent whatsoever are smart enough to take advantage of online 'opportunities', and reach numberless eyes and ears. They find their way into the minds and fantasies of easily influenced spectators, and...online empires are born overnight. Nevertheless, credit should be given to who deserves it. Such meritless celebrities, in fact, know how to keep their fans' interest awake, thus transforming what initially didn't exist into something tangible and extremely beneficial - to themselves!
