Innovators unexpectedly included a veteran of the Snoop Dogga rap, which according to “Time” is timeless and always finds himself as slightly in a changing reality. Biologist Richard Thompson was also pointed out, who has been fighting plastic for years and popularized the term “microplastik”. The hard work of satirist Nikki Glaser was also appreciated.
“Time” reminded that the choice of 100 influential was not easy
How was the 100 most influential chosen? The editors devoted the entire separate department on its portal to this issue. It was emphasized that as journalists of “TIME” employees try to run their thoughts to the future and wonder what will happen next, what awaits us next. They also emphasized that it is not always about changes that we like and the people we value. Hence, even people who, according to readers, could condemn for various reasons could be on the list.
You can, of course, a full list of 100 names on a special website prepared by “Time”.
