Create a website of blank pages for individuals to
     doodle on while talking on the telephone or taking
     meetings from their desks. Users would use the mouse
     to draw simple ballpoint pen style lines on the blank
     page. In addition to providing a paperless means of
     mental exercise, the site could also analyse the

49drawings. The analysis service could include a ‘find me
     a friend’ function, which could provide contacts of other
     users with similar patterns of behaviour.

       Editor’s note:
Another idea springs
to mind which would

     be some kind of
 indoor venue for all-

   weather or out-of-
season picnics. They

   would be like mini
   versions of Center

Open a restaurant without a kitchen. Each table would offer
a selection of takeaway menus and a telephone offering
direct connections to any of the affiliated take-out
restaurants. Groups of diners would be able to order from a
variety of meals to suit individual tastes. Staff would be
easy to hire as the only skills required would be serving
drinks and clearing tables. The restaurant would earn

Project. income from selling drinks, commission from the

participating takeaways and perhaps from a nominal

entrance fee.
