Done?
Right. Obviously you’ve clicked through to thefuntheory, a competition being run by Volkswagen. It is based around the premise that fun could be a method of changing human behaviour for the better – an interesting concept if a little flawed. Each of the videos featured on the site has their own beautifully simple concept with a short explanation of what was achieved by a small tweak in people’s little routines.
I love the concept of mundane tasks becoming an exercise in wonder and glee again. A big problem facing me at work at the moment is the distinct lack of fun (yes, I am unhappy with my job, what a massive surprise). If only the little things could change so that they would bring a smile to my face. To be honest I was about to write about how the novelty could wear off very quickly but lets stay positive (I’m extra spacey as a result of my recent good mood so I’m finding it hard to focus). Check out the videos. Embedding may have been disable on them but click through for the Youtube links.
