Rocky Horror Picture Show 2.0? GEN Y TXTS 2 SCREEN
The Chicago Trib has a great article on a theater in Naperville (suburb of Chicago) that runs cult classics with audience participation – by mobile text. The technology is called MuVChat:
“The system works this way: Audience members text to a central number, which runs their comments through software. The MuVChat software then displays the texts in a three-line configuration at the bottom of the screen, like a vertical ticker, as the movie plays. Sitting in the projector booth with a standard computer, Heald uses a profanity screening program and can, on the fly, filter comments and ban abusive users.”
Mobile text to screen (where someone sends a text message that is then displayed), has often been popular at events, but this is the first time I’ve seen it used in a theater to add a level of interactivity to a movie. Though this could be considered a Gen Y version of Rocky Horror Picture Show 2.0 – the audience members are clicking out text messages on their mobile phones to enhance their viewing experience – it also offer a unique look into a unique generational trait of Gen Y from a social perspective. That unique trait being the use of text messaging over actual physical interaction as a major form of communication in a social setting.
Maybe it’s just me but sitting in a theater and texting messages on a screen might be considered anti-social or weird by some, but in a very strange way it seems a lot more normal than say this…

December 6th, 2011 at 3:46 amIn line with my observation, after a in foreclosure process home is bought at an auction, it is common to the borrower to still have any remaining unpaid debt on the personal loan. There are many lenders who try and have all costs and liens paid back by the following buyer. Nonetheless, depending on specified programs, rules, and state guidelines there may be a few loans which aren’t easily sorted out through the shift of financial loans. Therefore, the obligation still falls on the customer that has obtained his or her property in foreclosure. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this web site.
December 6th, 2011 at 7:04 pmI have really noticed that credit improvement activity needs to be conducted with techniques. If not, you might find yourself endangering your rating. In order to be successful in fixing your credit score you have to be careful that from this second you pay all of your monthly costs promptly before their scheduled date. It’s really significant since by not really accomplishing this, all other activities that you will decide on to improve your credit positioning will not be helpful. Thanks for expressing your tips.
