Here is my question.
During Wimbledon Tennis, sometimes a ball goes and lands on the white line and it might be in or it might be out. When the IBM animation runs to show the ball landing in or out, the Wimbledon audience go clap clap clap clap and then go ooooh! when the result comes.
My question is, why the slow hand clap? This is a completely genuine question. I live too far away to go to sit in the crowd but if I did I would turn to the person next to me and ask them why the slow hand clap.
Are they annoyed about it? Are they clapping IBM technology cos its so clever and smart? Are they clapping cos they remembered they have hands and they like the sound of them bashing together!?
If anyone who is into tennis understand please answer me.
