“Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?†This line is from the classic movie, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. On October 31, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people will take part in recreating the famous parade scene and sing-along to the Beatle's 'Twist and Shout'.
This experiment, put on by Project Bueller, is going to take place in the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade. Everyone is invited to join in on the fun.
Implications - Despite the increasing globalization of the modern world, many individuals still feel disconnected and separated from loved ones, friends and peers. Businesses who are able to provide products and services that bring people closer together will reap significant benefits.
