Wow ! This sure is a unique way to solve pressing problems.
If applied to most everyday issues we face, am sure we would be better off as a community, city and country at large !
Let's place more importance on common sense and innovative thinking than plain reliance on "authorities".
Came across this interesting piece of news.
What’s very exciting about such events is how unknown people get together for a common cause (In this case – Entertainment)
Media, internet and Mobile phones have given rise to this interesting trend.
The advantages of such mass movements are that you end up releasing stressful emotions, spreading laughter and feeling one with the other! A nice way to make new friends too!
Initial reaction of bystanders/people not in the know ranges from surprise to amusement to suspicion to indifference. However, it doesn’t take time for the bug to spread.
What’s also interesting is, such flash mobs/urban playground movements are gaining momentum across the globe. This truly shows that it’s a Global Village now. A girl in Shanghai, a guy in Paris, a couple in Nevada…all it needs is willingness and a penchant for surprises.
There are many such groups that have sprung up recently. The oldest and the most famous being Improveverywhere (Charlie Todd). This group has undercover agents who come out with socially awkward missions and carry them with secrecy and aplomb.
One of their most famous missions has been the “Frozen Grand Central”. The full video can be seen here
