There is a set of stairs, with a moving escalator next to it … both of which lead to the same spot on the floor of the upper level. At first no one took the stairs, almost 97% of the people took the escalator. Okay. I think that could be a normal expected result.

Then a group of engineers got together, and decided they wanted to change the percentage around.

Notice what these scientists did. Clever huh. And now they have reversed the percentages, as a whopping 66% more people take the stairs, than ride the escalator.

And I agree…products need to be more fun. Designers should also play more and be less serious. To many have killed their inner child in the process of ‘growing up’

If those stairs were installed in the U.S. you’d have major lawsuits from day 1 from people falling and getting hurt. :wink:
