I LOVE OPENIDEO

One of my favorites:

It was based off this simple experiment where someone put ducktape in the middle of a grocery cart. As a result, 102% increase of fruits in vegetables purchased...check out news story here : Shopping Cart INNOVATION . It reminds me of some of the simple principles taught to the parents taking Baby School in the Harlem Children Zone - just how reading more to your kid when they're 1 can increase they're chance of success so much...or in a This American Life is was listening to recently on "Unconditional Love"... they talked about how this homicidal 16 year old was cured of is attachment disorder just by standing 3 ft away from his mom for 8 weeks. Also, the parents needed to feed him from a bottle while holding him to restore the attachment....My point is that simple fixes can cause solutions to flow from them....
