## Enunciado

I knew TikTok existed, but I didn't fully understand what it
was until a few months ago. I also realized that something
radical, yet largely invisible, is happening on the internet - with
implications we still don't understand.


When I was growing up, I took it for granted that the people
who became famous enough to be listened to by a crowd had
worked hard for that accolade and generally operated with the
support of an institution or an established industry.

The idea that I, as a teenager in my bedroom, might
suddenly communicate with 100,000 people or more, would
have seemed bizarre.

Today's kids no longer see life in these hierarchical and
institutional terms. Yes, their physical worlds are often
constrained by parental controls, a lack of access to the
outdoors and insane over-scheduling.

But despite that (or, more accurately, in reaction to that),
they see the internet as a constantly evolving frontier, where it
is still possible for a bold and lucky pioneer to grab some land or
find a voice. Most voices on the internet never travel beyond a
relatively small network, and much of the content that goes
viral on platforms such as TikTok, YouTube or Instagram does
so because of unseen institutions at work (for example, a public
relations team aiming to boost a celebrity's profile).

Fame can suddenly appear - and then just as suddenly be
taken away again, because the audience gets bored, the
platform's algorithms change or the cultural trend that a
breakout video has tapped into goes out of fashion.

For a teenager, social media can seem like a summer garden
at dusk filled with fireflies: spots of lights suddenly flare up and
then die down, moving in an unpredictable, capricious display.

Is this a bad thing? We will not know for several years.
