Summary:
The Coldplay glow-in-the-dark
wristbands that were handed out to light up with the music and stage lights
show, spooked their fans afterwards because of their spontaneous flashing.
These so called Xylobans are triggered by wireless signals, that were not
supposed to flash of their own accord. The firm that developed them has
received many requests to use them and does not see a cause of concern. It is
no sinister power, mind control or tracking device, but just something for fun.
The disturbed fans need not worry long, for the battery has a limited life span.
Commentary:
I find the reaction of a Belgian fan commenting 'Mine is alive!' hilarious. High tech gadgets can be great fun, but can really give you a scare when they supposedly come alive of their own accord in the middle of the night. I like my wristbands and bracelets plain and simple. Good for Coldplay that they invest in gadget that make their concerts even extra special, even though their music speaks for itself. For young adults there is more to good bands than just good music. They probably expect more technical quality in the shows, than I do. I am from an era when it was more about the ambiance and good music. Am I now reacting like an elderly woman?
