The Human Microphone In Action

This is the exciting moment when the Wall Street occupiers were told that in effect Bloomberg had backed down.  Of great interest is the "human microphone," in which the listeners repeat clause by clause the remarks of the speaker.  Originally developed as a substitute for banned or unavailable bullhorns, the human microphone also makes sure everyone hears, everyone listens, and the speaker trims his/her remarks to the bare minimum.  One of the great things to come out of the Occupy movement.
