| Boutros said: Iconic deaths will only get worse with every new year. It's something that we'll have to deal with. A few decades from now there will be an icon dying almost every day. That's the result of the increased recorded history of the past century and especially the past few decades. 100 years ago famous people weren't quite as famous. They didn't have the kind of technology that we have now that can reach people on a much more personal level (like radio, TV or the internet). It was people like writers or athletes then but nowadays it's all of that plus so much more. |
