Editor’s note:
    Clearly the business
     of sending, reading
   and replying to email
  itself is not enough to
   keep the nation from

      actually doing any

333work.
Develop a game of email Frisbee. To play, an individual
would enter the email address of a friend at a host
website and, by controlling an on-screen avatar, would
throw a Frisbee. The friend would then receive an email
with an animated attachment showing a park and the
sky above. At some point a Frisbee would enter the
frame of the animation. The recipient would have to

click on it before it hit the ground in order to catch it. The

result would be recorded to a database as a catch or a

drop. The recipient could then throw it back with a

                       message or forward it to someone else. The team with
                       the longest unbroken chain could be awarded a prize.

                       Design sunglasses that would lend the wearer the
                       appearance of being permanently caught in a
                       paparazzi-style photograph. The person’s eyes would
                       be deliberately obscured by a black rectangle,
