Ben Huh is the CEO and Founder of the multi-million dollar company, The Cheezburger Network. He’s
the guru behind websites like “Failblog”, or “I Can Has Cheezburger.” Being the
guest speaker at PSU’s Performing Arts and Lecture Series, Ben knows all too well how
important Universities are in helping structure the internet into our everyday lives. Ben
Huh-“It’s this university culture that started Facebook. That really started broadband
access for consumers and all of that really starts because of this environment of freedom
and the ability to actually communicate freely. The internet has become just a part of everyday
life where we just don’t realize how much we rely on it.” Picture after picture, Ben
explained his professional journey with a sense of humor the audience could relate too.
Kate Buckman-“I thought he was really funny and I enjoyed it.” Ashley Stout-“I thought
it was really funny. I didn’t know what to expect but I’m pretty glad that I came.”
With all jokes aside, Ben hopes students walk away from his lecture with a very important
message. Ben-“If the students took away anything tonight I think it’s the idea that
you should pursue your dream and not the money. I think that’s really really important ever
more so then the last few years with the recession. People worry about this more and more but
if you’re pursuing what you do love, it’s going to be so much more rewarding than doing
it just for the reward.”
