all know that taking the stairs is better for our health when compared with riding the elevator or the escalator. But, let’s face it, when presented with the choice, wouldn’t we opt for the “automatic” option?
If the exact same stairs, however, made fun sounds when climbing them, would that make a difference?
You will find the answer to this question in the following clip which demonstrates that assigning stairs a new task of “convincing” people to climb them can result in a fun, innovative and perhaps unexpected situation.
The SIT pattern, by the way, that we see in this inventive idea is called “Task Unification”. When using this pattern, we assign a new task to an existing component – in this case, we assigned the (existing) stairs with the task of convincing people to climb them (a task they didn’t fill before).
