It has been. Fantastic. Really. All the young Experts have been amazing.
One visitor suggested that “all this nonsense destroys their social skills and conversation is dying,” so I pointed out that the feedback from visitors all week has been very much about how articulate the youngsters are and how well they know their subject. None were too shy to engage with anyone who sat down next to them.
I’ve said it already, but it’s worth saying again, the week has been fantastic. We do plan on doing this, or something similar again in the future.
Two final thoughts to wrap the week up – firstly, on the Fusion screen there have been a number of facts popping up about the social networking and the Internet in general. One such gem is that people over the age of fifty who use the Internet a lot are known as ‘Silver Surfers’ – which up until recently amused me. This week I suddenly realised that I am near one myself.
But the last word has to go to one of our ‘Silver Surfer’ visitors. They were heard saying, “I know what Face Book is and I know what You Tube is. But I don’t know what FaceTube is.”
I think this is just about where we came in….

From next week this Blog will become the Fusion at The Forum Blog with news and information about the many shows and displays that can be seen on Europe’s largest permanent digital screen.
