Introduction:

Why I am interested in flash mobs:

            Having struggle with not knowing which topic to work on, I saw a flash mob video on the Internet and it was hold at Taipei 101. I have joined a flash mob once and I was quite interested in this topic so I chose to work on this topic at last.

Main idea:

1.      What is a flash mob?

A flash mob (or flashmob) is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression. 

Flash mob= “Flash” crowd+ smart “Mob”

2. What are the differences between flash mobs and Improv Everywhere?

No. Improv Everywhere was created about 2 years before the first “flash mob.” While some of our missions may have certain similarities to a flash mob (large numbers of people engaging in a coordinated activity in a public place), we have never embraced that term. Some missions use just a few folks while others might use thousands, depending on what suits the idea. Also, our projects are rarely over in a flash. Many last for hours.

Over the years the term “flash mob” has been beaten to death by the media and co-opted by marketers. It’s become a lazy, catch-all term to describe things as varied as people dancing at a Black Eyed Peas concert to surprise Oprah Winfrey to teens meeting up to commit crimes in Chicago. I’m not sure what it even means anymore, and I don’t really care to use it to describe what we do.
