Innovative Technology

Okay, so I don’t know that much about football, and don’t really care either. But I did somehow get roped into watching the Superbowl yesterday, and I have to admit that I kinda had a good time. I mean, how can you not feel a twinge of happiness that that Saint’s won? That city deserves a victory, don’t you think? And didn’t you see that cute quarterback crying and holding his baby son at the end? It was better than a Hollywood box-office hit! Talk about a tear-jerker!

But I have to say, out of the whole event, my favorite parte had to be the halftime show. I mean, they really pulled out all the stops. I know that The Who are getting old and everything, but they still held it together enough to sing a few of the hits. Nice work boys. One thing I think they had going for them was the lighting on that stage! To quote The Palm Beach Post: “A circular space ship of a stage 50 yards wide, flashing and bursting with multicolored LED lights, lit up a darkened Sun Life Stadium as The Who matched the electricity of Super Bowl XLIV.” And how true! That stage was lit up in such intricate detail at times, I wished I was in the stadium experiencing it firsthand. The lights on stage coordinated with a laser show that was going on throughout the venue, which gave the entire show a larger-than-life feeling–every fan and player was surrounded by lights for the majority of the halftime show! And of course, not to point out the obvious, but we couldn’t have had any of it without the cutting-edge technology behind LED lights. One thing’s for sure: without LEDs we would not have been treated to such spectacular and visually stunning show, and who knows, I may have written off the Superbowl for good.!
