gamification homework

It was a regular day. I lied down on the couch and i was watching the documentary called ‘herd psychology’ on national geographic tv. The topic was about people’s going up and down a ladder. There was a stairs and an escalator as adjacent, on a public area. Apparently, people mostly choose escalator intead of normal stairs. The presenter of the show decided to try something to change on people’s percieve from escalator to normal stairs and he did put a signboard which shows a fatman silhouette on the escalator side indicating by an arrow and it also shows a slimman on the stairs side and the arrow shows that too. Some people find that funny but some of them find it disturbing instead. People mostly find that insulting and the signboard didn’t provide a serious change of people’s using stairs decisions. That’s why the presenter of the show decided to try a new thing on the stairs. Firstly, he made a graffiti on the side of the stairs which is seen from the front. Therefore, the stairs became more remarkable. After that, he did set a contrivance on the all stairs.When people step on the stairs, all of them make different voices individually as a hiphop beat. This provides people to make their own music by using their steps so people starts using stairs instead of escalator. Apparently, people have fun with the stairs. They were using escalators but now, they have fun using stairs. I looked at my huge belly and then looked at the people on the tv. I realized that I was them and they were me.I thought , i whis there were stairs like that so i could simplify going up and down stairs for myself. If i wanted to change something, i should do something. Then, i did find out what i was gonna do. I could use the stairs instead of escalator while i go to school everyday. Music makes it simple and fun for me. While going to school and coming back home, i listen my music by my headphone. While going down and up to the subway, i use stairs and , i dream that the music on my headphone is made by my steps on the stairs so it is like i make my own music. That makes me feel like rockstar,

TRANSCRIPT

It was a regular day. I lied down on the couch and i was watching the documentary called herd psychology on national geographic tv. The topic was about peoples going up and down a ladder. There was a stairs and an escalator as adjacent, on a public area. Apparently, people mostly choose escalator intead of normal stairs. The presenter of the show decided to try something to change on peoples percieve from escalator to normal stairs and he did put a signboard which shows a fatman silhouette on the escalator side indicating by an arrow and it also shows a slimman on the stairs side and the arrow shows that too. Some people find that funny but some of them find it disturbing instead. People mostly find that insulting and the signboard didnt provide a serious change of peoples using stairs decisions. Thats why the presenter of the show decided to try a new thing on the stairs. Firstly, he made a graffiti on the side of the stairs which is seen from the front. Therefore, the stairs became more remarkable. After that, he did set a contrivance on the all stairs.When people step on the stairs, all of them make different voices individually as a hiphop beat. This provides people to make their own music by using their steps so people starts using stairs instead of escalator. Apparently, people have fun with the stairs. They were using escalators but now, they have fun using stairs. I looked at my huge belly and then looked at the people on the tv. I realized that I was them and they were me.I thought , i whis there were stairs like that so i could simplify going up and down stairs for myself. If i wanted to change something, i should do something. Then, i did find out what i was gonna do. I could use the stairs instead of escalator while i go to school everyday. Music makes it simple and fun for me. While going to school and coming back home, i listen my music by my headphone. While going down and up to the subway, i use stairs and , i dream that the music on my headphone is made by my steps on the stairs so it is like i make my own music. That makes me feel like rockstar, and also feel like i am on the short movie of the song. I dont even realize that i am climbing stairs. I has been 4 weeks that i started to do this, i also lost 5 kg. That makes me happier because i feel healthier. I never thought i would climb stairs instead of using escalator but with that simple method i am doing it by having fun.
