Thank you for any input
Originally posted by musicandbuzz:Technology? I think this u2 tour, like Bono says, is the tour of smartphone, of live concerts streaming, of tablet of multimedia for family with children.
I saw in Turin too many guys and dolls using smartphone for pics, video, chat and so on.
My question to all of you is: but a concert is not a form of art where you parecipate just for watch and expecially listen to the music?
Why someone loose playing songs and make other stupid things.
I paid 200 Euros for each ticket in Turin, but 5 minutes pics and 5 minutes video that's all.
I think that music is now "snack music", i always listen to the music from a vinyl player or cd player and not through you tube, deezer, spotify, smartphones or i pod.
That's because i have technology but i use technology in the right way,
It seems to me that to many persons are slaves of technology and multimedia.
Technology and multimedia are my slaves for informations and jobs, not for the arts. Would you like a Picasso on the smartphone, a book as e book and not on paper, a film on a tablet and not at the cinema or in television?
Sorry i'm an old man , but sometimes old habits are better then modern. Bye to everybody. ps and sorry again for my BAD english, but i'm sure you will understand.

Concorde fans hope to get jet airborne by 2019
Enough funds have been raised to buy a Concorde with the aim of getting it flying again by 2019, a group of British enthusiasts says.
Club Concorde, made up of former captains, charterers and aviation fans, says it has £120m in reserve for the "return to flight" plan.
The group also plans to put another of the supersonic aircraft on permanent display in central London.
Concorde, which can travel at twice the speed of sound, last flew in 2003.
Negotiations are now under way to purchase a Concorde currently on display at Le Bourget airport in Paris.

Just read this myself. Would love to see it flying again. There's one on display at Manchester Airport and it's a shame to see it just sitting there.
