Two weeks ago a 16 year old boy named Alex lee endured a complete 360 to his life. Alex was a normal teen who got in trouble for having a messy room, went to high school, and loved playing sports.Little did he know that when he went to work at target the next day his life was about to change. On Sunday november his dad did the usual and took him to work after church. Alex was a cashier at SuperTarget ok n El dorado parkway. A teenage girl thought Alex was a cutie and snuck a picture of Alex while he was bagging her things and later posted it on twitter with the caption "YOOOOOO". This picture soon was everywhere on the internet and the hash tag AlexFromTarget was born. Since becoming Internet famous Alex has been on Ellen Degeneres show to explain his thought kn the situation with nothing but positive thoughts.
This event is really funny and cute to me. Also, I think that this story just shows how much on an effect social media can change someone's life in a matter of days. Alex Lee was a normal boy that became Internet famous all because of his good looks an a simple picture posted on twitter. Overall the interest and social media are the most powerful devices jn this generation.
It is amazing how much the web can affect a person's life, but it can also affect it both negatively and positively as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how drastically some picture a girl took while he was working changed this guy's whole life! It just goes to show how things like videos and pictures can be spread across the web like that. It's kind of creepy that she took his picture without his permission like that though
