Reminds me of something that happened recently.

A co-worker brought her kid to work. Another co-worker asked the child what he wanted to be when he grows up. The child responded instantly, "I want to be a YouTube star!"

10 years ago, that kid would have probably replied "Movie Star" instead of YouTube, not sure that a kid wanting to be a celebrity is bad.

That's more a sign of current distribution models than anything else. 20 years ago it would have been "I want to be a movie star!"
