Create an Internet site for members of the public to
upload drawings of people created from their
imaginations. Once published, visitors to the site could
look for themselves or for friends and upload actual
photographs to prove the likenesses. Visitors who
spotted an accidental representation would be able to
327purchase the original doodle – now an uncanny portrait
– for a price that would compare favourably to that
charged by professional portrait artists.

Encourage the public to exercise by introducing special
signs to public parks, roadsides and other spaces
offering distances from the sign to another given point. A
sign might read ‘400 metres to the kid’s swings’, for
example, and would also declare the world record for the
specific distance. An automatic timer could be employed
328such that the runner hits the button on the sign and then
again on the final point to see their own personal time.
