Nowadays television is everywhere. Today’s technology gave us a powerful source of information and entertainment. We have live broadcasts from every place in the Earth or from our backyard.
Watching TV news we see a lot of people – presidents, prime ministers, celebrities, artists and ordinary people. Sometimes these ordinary people are just silent background witnesses, sometimes they express their opinion. We can see them for very short time, just for e few seconds. These few seconds are their 5 minutes of glory.
