How do you become remembered in the modern age?

[joon]

I was reading through the posts and saw one post that Caesar said. He said that in this era, it is hard to be remembered forever. I agree with him, and I think that it's really hard to be remembered forever in the modern age. Because we have such fast-paced lives, we constantly switch our attention from one topic to the next, forgetting the previous hot topic as we do so. For example, the Redbull Stratos Jump, which happened recently when some guy jumped at an amazing height. People talked about it for a while on the internet, but now I'm pretty sure that it's been forgotten by a lot of you and other people. I think this is due to a constant onset of new information being given to us through the internet, that we don't have time to remember them all. So my question is:

Do you think that it's hard to be remembered forever in today's society, and why? and How would you be remembered in today's society?

well for i just wanted to be acknowledged and remembered. but i guess as all human beings are tend to forget people from the past. so i dont really mind whether im remembered or not but i just wanted to be acknowledged ^_^ thats all i could wish for.... but its also hard to be remembered "forever" in today society because everyone wants to be remembered at some point so it would be hard cuz of possible competition. but t me i dont really care if i was remembered forever or not. unless someone dear to me then i would and maybe they would remembered me forever.

I agree that it is hard to be remebered forever in this society. The internet spreads out news around the world rapidly and this helps us get information quickly but in the same time, it makes us forget other issues. I think a way to be remembered can be inventing something that would change or help the society, like Steve Jobs, and Edison? Or like we learned in English class, writers left their work to be remembered, so we can publish a book to be remembered.

I think that in today's society, it is really tough to be remembered in today's society. I think that the reasons why it is hard to be remembered are different now then it was before. Today, with the internet, there is just so much information available that it would be extremely hard to become acknowledged, because one hears about a tremendous amount of amazing people in the world through this internet and also TV. For me personally, I would like to be remembered for doing something that has a positive impact on this world.

I must say, it is hard to be remembered forever in today's society, unless youre really good at something at what you are doing. For example, the world of football. If you play football, you will recognize this player, his name is Pele, he is a brazilian. He was beast back in 70s. But people still talking about him these days, and people compares him to this 25 years old footballer named lionel messi. Sometimes, if you want to be remembered, you have to be unique, but also remember, just because youre unique doesnt mean youre useful and just because youre useful doesnt mean youre necessary. Lionel messi is unique, he is 169cm but people compares him to pele the king of football and Cristiano Ronaldo that is taller and stronger than him. They called Lionel messi an "Alien" from mars.

I agree with you, it truely is quite hard to be remembered in today's society. I guess its also due to a vast media and so many different types of talents that people can come up with in order to make themselves remembered by everyone in today's society plus huge difference in the population in today's world as compare to the past.

People will be tired if they try to remember all the surrounding things because things are changing so fast now. For example, we used to talk about how hard Nokia 3310 is. Now we talk about how thin Iphone is. What if someone is still talking about how Nokia 3310 can't be broken? The person will soon be regarded as a lame person. That's why people are exhausting for following fashion but forget the old things. I agree Reggie that it's fine just to be remembered by people who care me.

I also agree that it is very hard to become remembered in today's society because a lot of events are reported in the internet news, radios, and TVs. Because it is easy for a person to become famous in a short period of time, there are a lot more famous people than in the past. However, People cannot remember every famous person's name, and thus, forgets them easily. In addition, it is easy now to show off talents and there are lot of talented people.
I think that a person do not need to be remembered by everyone in the world. It is more important to be remembered as an individual, as a person for whom you are, by very few close friends and family rather than to be remembered as someone for whom you are not.

I don't think it's hard to be remembered in today's society because there's so much stuff you can access for information. I think there's going to at least some kind of information about me, no matter how unimportant it may be. I would like to be remembered by other people, but I don't think I'd be remembered forever in today's society. It's going to end someday and I'm not that sad about it either as long as I lived a fulfilling life right now. I don't really care about other people remembering me or not. Whether they remember or not doesn't determine the quality of the life I lived.

I think it's really hard to be remembered in today's society because we receive so much information and news on a daily basis that we can't focus on just one of them. There are too many inventors, scientists, writers, actors, athletes, researchers, etc. around the world today. But before, there were only a few and the world was just starting to advance. Therefore, the several people who made new theories or wrote a book, made it big like Newton and Shakespeare. In conclusion, I don't think I will be remembered because I am just 1 in 7 billion people. But it doesn't matter because being remembered isn't the focus of my life.

I also think it is hard to be remembered because of the vast amount of information that is relatively easily accessible. We have so much information that we can't remember all of it. I agree that we rather constantly change our focus. I am not sure what I want to be remembered as. But I would like to be remembered for something good.

as we recently learned about "immortality", it does not mean living forever, but i means a king should rule his kingdom and make it into a good country even after he dies. This could be part of being remembered, and living one's name. Pride, and fame.

I believe it's hard to be remembered forever in today's society because there are alot of rapid changes such as in technology. Television, news, and media give out information very quickly that people can't remember all these informations.

[minjaeyang]

I believe that no one can be remembered forever in the modern age because there are too many things coming up in the world every day. For example, the winner of the Super Star K 3, Ulala Session, was always talked about when they won the audition. However, after Super Star K 4 came out, they were slowly forgotten by people. Thus, to be remembered by the society nowadays, people should keep developing their skills.

I think it is pretty simple to be remembered in modern day society. If you become successful, i mean if your success can affect the world, you can be remembered. If we take a look at famous individuals they are people who have dominant ability on their fields. As an individual i have strong ambition of becoming famous and remembered by being successful on my field. Who knows depending on how much i try,i can be super famous with in next 10 years.
