I discovered this yesterday on Youtube. Don’t remember how exactly I stumbled across their videos, but I love the idea of what they do. They’re basically promoting personal and environmental health by adding a “fun element” to menial day-to-day tasks.
My personal favorite is the bottomless wastebin. I’m still not quite sure if there’s a “plunk” at the bottom of the journey, but the idea’s cool!
It’s good to see that people still have their thinking caps on.
It’s certainly inspired me to think a bit more out-of-the-box on the menial projects and tasks that I work with on a day-to-day basis.
On a bit of a rant, the truth is that traffic exchanges have been working hard at exactly this for several years – how to make the click-click-click more fun and entertaining. I’ve always thought that that was just to prevent total boredom of the surfers (and it certainly is), but seeing these videos has me re-thinking that idea (and others, in general)
I think there’s a lot to learn from it
Kudos to Volkswagon Sweden and DDB Stockholm for this initiative!
