Lena: Miles, I was just thinking about how some of the most iconic moments in history started with something so... small. Like, imagine it’s the year 2000, and Jennifer Lopez walks onto the Grammy Awards red carpet in that famous green dress. You’d think it’s just a fashion moment, right?
Miles: Right! But that one dress actually triggered a massive shift in how we use the internet. It was so popular that it literally inspired the creation of Google Images. It's wild how pop culture shapes our daily tools.
Lena: That is fascinating! It makes you realize that "useless" trivia is actually the fabric of our world, from the "Operation Varsity Blues" scandal that shook up colleges a few years back to the fact that the first music video ever played on MTV was "Video Killed the Radio Star."
