On July 12th,2009,at 5 pm, a lot of fans gathered at People’s Square I Shanhai to complete Michael Jackson’s unfinished dance in one minute.For a total of 60 seconds,they sang and did the moon walk to remember Michael Jackson.

This kind of phenomenon(現(xiàn)象)is called “flash mob”. “flash mob” is a group of people who gather in a public place to perform a strange activity for a short time.Sometimes, all these people are friends,but usually they are strangers who find each other through the Internet or sending short messages using mobile phones.

It’s interesting how “flash mob” activities are planned.Without technology–the Internet or mobile phones,it would be impossible to organize so many people in such a short time.
