If someone says that this world is too busy to think of irrelevant and non resourceful actions, they may want to be given the MP3 experience. This is so cool. Two dudes put up an MP3 online and people around the world download it from this website to their iPods. Then they set an alarm for one particular day, time, second and they all meet up at one particular place at the given time. Then on the stroke of the hour, minute and second, everyone switches on the iPod and then listens to the same thing and they dance! Or jump or whatever. Well, the sixth version of this phenomenon was held recently which saw over 2,000 people participate on Roosevelt Island, a thin strip of land in the middle of the East River.

It sure is innovative and pretty smart, but I was thinking. For the sake of this one moment, there would be fans from around the world fly in to one particular spot each year to enjoy music. Something like a silent rock festival, don’t you think? Well, at least for the participants it will be. The passerbys will just have to google on what’s happening to avoid looking like the idiot staring at a crowd.
