Using NFC Technology, libraries are going underground! Here are two examples, one in Bucharest, on the station where you can download books and films directly to your phone or Ipad, and the other in New York, on the trains, allows you to download 8 to 10 pages of a book and leads you to the library where you can find it. Pretty cool, pretty simple!

Culture, carrots and porn!
What should we do when governments insist on having the VTA for culture at unbearable values, killing (not so softly) the sector and making even harder for artists to live of their work? And if it turns out that your government "feels" that culture is not as important as... let's say, porn? Doesn't that seem strange? Fortunately if there's one thing we still have for free is the use of our creativity and Spanish performers have showed just that, by selling carrots and porn magazines as tickets for theater. This way, the state says it's ok to pay only 4% taxes (instead of 21%!). And they say we're the crazy ones...

let's go to the Republic of Zubrowka!
Some make-believe places are so special that they have the power to materialize and they keep changing as long as you remember them! check out trip advisors' reviews on the Grand Budapest Hotel, here. Enjoy your trip!

slow is the new black
Not only did people enjoyed experiencing these events as if they were there, but in some cases they were there! People got out of their houses and when to the places where the shooting was being made, being from there on a part of the "program" themselves! You can't get more interactive then that!
Could it be that the Norwegians, more then wanting to know all about the glamorous life style of celebrities or the answer to the question "how will people behave in this situation", just want life on TV? Normal, regular, simple life? Are they so sick of fiction and other people that they rather just slow down and watch time go by on a TV-screen?
Apparently some american network is already negotiating to buy this concept, so globalization of real-time-reality will soon happen... I wonder what events will the Americans choose to show.
