The Fun Theory

Hey everyone, it's been a little over a week since our last blog post, and I figured I'd check in and see how everything was going.

I recently came across a very interesting site called TheFunTheory.com. Basically, the site is sponsoring a little competition where people create fun ways of making the public have good habits, with a money reward for the best idea. For example: in one submission, they turned a public staircase into a piano, and saw how many people took the stairs instead of the escalator. Click play below to watch the video:



Another cool video that I found on thefuntheory.com is "The World's Deepest Bin"; basically a garbage can that they rigged with a speaker and motion sensor, so when someone throws garbage into it, it sounds like the garbage falls for a long time. Watch the video below:



See, even some of the biggest problems in the world like pollution and obesity can be fixed with something as simple as fun. Maybe there is hope for us still. Now lets get out there and build a staircase piano, get on it OCPJ!

Namaste,

Shawn
